Yesterday's Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a brief interview with famed fashion designer Michael Kors, who was in Seattle to promote his new "Michael" label at Bon-Macy's. It's his first mass-market (read: affordable) clothing line, with pieces ranging from $40 to $350, including both apparel and accessories. I thought his answer to the question on the current fragmentation of fashion was interesting:

"It's how people live today. They might buy a table at Crate & amp; Barrel and put a pre-Colombian statue on top. The chicest woman around is driving a 'smart car' (hybrid). Sharon Stone wears a Gap top and a Vera Wang skirt to the Oscars. It's how I dress -- Levi 501s and a Saville Row jacket. People don't want to be pigeonholed anymore."
