knock knock, who's there

(nytimes) from the general creative director of hermes, on the appointment of a new designer:

I think the appointment of Christophe is very ambitious. Maybe in five years I will look back and think it was a terrible mistake — or a wonderful surprise. I like that. I think we need that. Hermès is really born out of movement. Christophe shares very simple and basic values with Hermès. There is a definite love of simplicity without losing a sense of fantasy and joy.

one of my great hopes of my aesthetic, of my life, is that simplicity will always drive my life but that i'll always make room for fantasy and joy...what a great statement!
