fashion as alchemy

This is by Otto von Busch. He is always brilliant. In this writing, he speaks of giving life to the dead object. Does alchemy infuse with life? It does through transmutation, with the translative act being the pure energy, essence, substance of life. I don't know if i like fashion very much - the entire discipline is a continual refinement of the act of denial, and a falsification of transience and translation.
Can i change this?
Is it worth trying?
Does fashion have any other possibilities?
Is clothing culture entirely consumed by fashion?
Can i create clothing without participating in fashion?
Can i design clothing without participating in fashion?


"summoning the very spirit of the mystic force of aesthetics and substance it into matter"
Distilling energy into substance!
