Over the decades current fashion has had an ever decreasing lifespan and where once Georgian, Regency etc tagged the look of a generation we just can't make names up quick enough to keep pace with the way looks change today.

So in a total nothing special - and yes it is looking the same as in Barcelone - a bit of a pity ass Milano and Barcelona are different (or is this the start of a corporate architecture in camper, as other global brands have it) Dont hit me too hard : in terms of architecture – amazingly boring – a bunch of furniture in a white shop with linoleum floor. there is not even an attempt visible to refer to the space – its just hanging big lamops and putting in stuff, which resembles motifs from stuff one usually buys in fleamarkets (actually a concept for the best shops worldwide – which are really alternative, not just pretending to be as a brand as camper now has to) The Berlin store has sth like a vision of an alternative inhabited – this one not.

I honestly think you guys have no clue what you are talking about." Formal language?"...there is nothing that deals with issues of form in any of this work. This is a decoration that does not engage with the physical constraints of an interior structure. Lets call this what it really is; decoration. I really don't mean this as something wrong, but we shouldn't get confused and assume that Jaime can do everything perfectly. Jaime is mostly “shopping” from his catalogue of great work and assembling it inside commercial spaces. That said, I want to be clear here. I own 2 big painting / drawings made by him so I do really love his amazing work. I think that he has been able to move forward the discourse in a sense that design can now express beyond issues of ergonomics, etc... For Jaime there’s no division between art and design and that’s fantastic, but he is not an architect even though he might be inclined to give it a try!
