An encyclopedic knowledge of fashion history sets the British native apart from his contemporaries:
One of the times I interviewed Demna Gvasalia, [I learned that] he almost ended up working at a bank in Dusseldorf because he studied economics and then decided to go the [Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts]. It's quite odd that we both ended up doing similar things.. Did you find that being an editor, first and foremost, changed your writing?
said you're "unafraid of either sharing [your] true opinion, or polarizing the opinion of others." Do you find that this voice has helped to make you a successful critic?I just try and be honest. Ultimately, I hope that's what people react to. To their credit, the vast majority of fashion brands have been incredibly supportive. They understand what criticism is. They don't expect us to write great things about everything; they like to have a dialogue.
You can be much more reactive online. You can't write about something two weeks after it happened. You should be writing about it the day after it happened or the day it happens or the dayit happens. Alongside that is what everybody talks about — [the Internet] has increased the speed at which you're expected to write. When I was working at, our turnaround time, ideally, was three hours between seeing the show and filing the show. I think there's something great about that.
Do you find it difficult to write thorough, analytical pieces when it's often encouraged to file a story as soon as possible?, I was really struck by when people would say, "Oh, you know, the deadlines must be so much easier." But the deadlines are tougher on a newspaper! I had to file everything by 5 p.m. At, I could write into the wee hours, but at a newspaper, if it's not there by the time [it goes to print], it's not going in. It's not going to happen.
