In these trying economic times we’ll take hope where we can get it. But we’re especially receptive when optimism comes from the Fairy Godfather of fashion.
He’s so wise . . .
Tim moderated a panel discussion called “Redefining the Rules of Fashion in Today’s Economy.” He told attendees:
"These are very trying times, but we need to pull through this," Gunn said to a packed room of fashion students at the Directors Guild of America. "And I think we will. But I think it will be a different time." (nymag.com).
Zac Posen, Mary Alice Stephenson, fit model Josh Button, Alex Gonzalez of ad agency AR New York, Macy's senior vice-president Les Steiger, and CEO of HSN Mindy Grossman were part of the discussion as well. All of the speakers delivered Obama-esque messages of hope, change, adaptation, and innovation within the fashion industry.
Apparently, the kids left the panel uplifted and ready to make it work. Yes we can.
