Design Has Nothing to do With Fashion

Fans of Dieter Rams should read this article in The Times, which quite rightly claims that he is 'the man who shaped our world.' The reason his designs still look so good is neatly summed up in the title to this post; a quote from the article. He does expand on that statement, mentioning a certain French designer that you may have heard of: 'Philippe Starck is an artist not a designer. He has made some interesting products, OK, but maybe he should think a little bit more!'
