“This whole crisis is like a big spring housecleaning — both moral and physical,” Karl Lagerfeld, the designer for Chanel, said in an interview. “There is no creative evolution if you don’t have dramatic moments like this. Bling is over. Red carpety covered with rhinestones is out. I call it ‘the new modesty.’ “

Let’s hope for less Bling, more Wabi-Sabi (((check out the nice tea-bowl somebody decided to use as an example of Wabi-Sabi… I drank out of it just this morning: Pouchong tea with slices of fresh ginger)))
