I think what she is saying is: I am the true artist. I am utterly focused on the one thing that I am making now. It is everything to me. I never look back at the past. I am in the now. I am the art that is now, even as I am the person who stands her now before you. I can only be the one thing, and my art is always only that one thing, whatever is the last thing. That's what makes me an artist, unlike all these curators and spectators you see here. I alone am the artist.
Actually, it's an art museum exhibit. These aren't clothes to be worn in the normal sense of the word. They are essentially sculptures that can be worn, in that a person can get inside them and not be entirely immobilized. I don't see why you would sneer at creations that exist in this middle ground between sculpture and clothing.
I think the term "privilege" is overused. Often it's just used to imply some people get treated with respect, like all people should. It's not a privilege to have a safe home, or supportive family, or access to opportunities, and get treated fairly in regards to those opportunities.
That said, if ever "privilege" had a useful application it's here. This is what privilege looks like, being able to just do whatever you want, however you want, and have fawning reporters exulting the candy-tasting quality of the resulting excrement.
But, that's the world some people really want to live in, so they invest in people who live as if it's the actual reality. The world is a funny place.
Reminds me of the discussion between the two art critics evaluating "the Kramer".
Ann, it is either sculpture or clothing not something in between. Most certainly it is ugly and ridiculous if you think it is wearable.Therefore it must be sculpture... and if it is sculpture why is it considered "fashion"
To me this is the perfect illustration of the absurdity of the "Fashion World". A bunch of poseurs who somehow get away with their nonsense year after year.

"The last thing" could have meant "the previous thing". "The only one, yes" suggests that she might indeed have an incomplete grasp of English.
she might indeed have an incomplete grasp of English.
Or a complete grasp of ambiguity.

Standard leftist NYT gabble. A "fashion show"of unwearable clothing.
"A "fashion show" of unwearable clothing."

Why am I reminded of the Emperor's New Clothes. I can see these items worn to a themed affair, but not for any other reason.
"Art" like this is the excrement of our decadent culture.
Caroline Kennedy wore one of KAWAKUBO's creation to the Met gala and she looked totally ridiculous.

How much is being charged to not see that?

I don't know who this person is, and i won't click the link for fear of being "Yoko Ono'ed". My trauma bucket is full today
