Please. Don't. Say. That. Awful. Blasphemous. Word. Again.

and then there's the over-using of the scandinavian minimalist attitude.. that everything beautiful has to be very very simple. Or everything very very simple is beautiful. so most high fashion is either very simple and sophisticated (think andiata, ril's) or then quirky with great prints but nothing original otherwise (ivanahelsinki).

Exactly. Antti Asplund chooses a certain sort of print or object each season (one season was goombas, the next Greek crosses) and makes clothing with a print of that object (such as a dresses with goombas all over them or a cross necklace). His clothing isn't revolutionary, but it definitely is creative and it tells a story.

I've seen a Ril's cape before (via Hel-Looks), and went to the website....reminds me of what the American designers are doing now, which is disgusting. Minimalist doesn't mean boring. It's a legitimate aesthetic, which can be just as full-bodied and realised as non-minimalist designs.

Yes, and Paola Suhonen was using hand guns in her prints this year.....

Oh, I know, I saw those! I love her humor. Too bad I couldn't wear those to school tho!
