Benjamin Kanarek, fashion photographer and blogger, has written an interesting article on what he feels defines an artist, and more specifically, the fashion designer. Here's an excerpt:
"As children, all of us were once incredibly creative, free flowing and unencumbered spirits. Expressing ones inner self was never considered a challenge. It just happened. When the inevitable iron curtain drops somewhere around adolescence, why do only a very few get through. Is it perhaps those who did not exercise their childhood to their fullest are able to get through. Well, rather than pondering this notion for too long, I would like to discuss what makes that artist, 'That' artist."
It's only a little armchair psychology, but an original thought nonetheless.
