Marc Bolland seems to understand nothing of the M and S psyche. What he does understand though is how to look after his friends. This man (also of Dutch origin - coincidence???) waves the flag for 'Britishness' and then goes and hires a has been Dutchman to design his products. Does anyone else smell a rat???/ You are right Unimpressed Of London!! Marc Bolland seems to understand nothing of the M and S psyche. What he does understand though is how to look after his friends.

Both Mooi, as a brand, and Marcel's eccentric persona represent everything that is most decadent and backward in design. I sincerely hope that consumers wake up to the fact that they are being ripped off by overly self-indulgent designers who, quite uncritically, carry on depleting our ecosystem and littering our world with rubbish. Designers, the media, and consumers should stop celebrating frugality and look back to the essential values we lost and reintegrate them into our material culture. This is not about aesthetically questionable products anymore. It's about a sustainable, meaningful future. Marcel, it is time for you to go into retirement, quite frankly. You got enough cash already...
