Men.style.com interviews a few designers to hear their outlooks on the upcoming year. Here’s what Yohji Yamamoto has to say, ”Am I still going to be alive in 2009? I really hope so. I am a designer; I will go on designing until I die. This is my way of talking about 2009, 2010…”

Frida Giannini, creative director, Gucci
“Brands like Gucci have seasonal trends, and so it will be next year-keeping the iconic and contemporary element, but always staying truthful to the brand’s core values and DNA: glamour, luxury, craftsmanship, and made in Italy.”

Raf Simons
“It will be a reality check. It will be creativity versus reality. Can they meet in this moment? How will they meet? But in any case, even in this climate, we have to give the audience beauty and something to be excited about and something that stimulates. Enough reasons already to think dark.”

Hi nice post, i have come across your site once before when searching for something so i was just wondering something. I love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download, or is it a custom one you had made? In a few weeks i will be launching my own site, i’m not great with designs but i really like the style of your site so it would be cool if i could find (or pay for) something with a similar look.
Thanks!
