More From Rem Koolhaas

If we're having a glitzy over-the-top moment, fashion is very glitzy and over-the-top, you know, over-the-top. if we're having a moment where things are, you know, we're in a recession, fashion becomes quiet. so, in terms of popular culture, fashion and especially women's fashion is incredibly interesting, aside from satisfying just a particular need to create and arrange things in a way that one sees as beautiful. and so, in a certain way, it's fulfilling. in another way, it's very fleeting because it doesn't last very long. you know, a beautiful moment in fashion goes away very quickly.

We fell silent again. the thing we had shared was nothing more than a fragment of time that had died longe ago.even so, a faint glimmer of that warm memory still claimed a part of my heart. and when death claim me, no doubt i would walk along by that faint light in the brief instant before being flung once again into the abyss of nothingness
