Money Money Money, must be funny, in a rich mans world!

Can we really imagine a time when money is not the main priority? - a life after capitalism?

In an interview with the Guardian, Kalle Lasn, talks about his new book, Meme Wars. He believes that consumerism has "turned humanity into a selfish, anxious race." Interestingly, he also links a rise in depression to the rise in prosperity.

Interviews with the worlds radical thinkers sit side by side with provocative images that endeavour to subvert capitalism. It looks like an interesting read and will definitely be going on my Christmas list - ha ha, a contradiction in terms!

Pretty in Protest

Whether or not you agree with the Occupy movement, they initiated a thought process that is becoming increasingly evident - that everything is controlled by money... popular music, fashion, politics, education - EVERYTHING! Whilst I'm not completely anti-capitalist, I am anti-corruption. The Occupy movement was the original inspiration for my SS13 collection and I thank them for getting off their arse to at least try to do something about it... they might not yet have a perfect solution but with continued conversation about change, fairness could prevail. Happy Birthday Occupy!
