Men's clothing hasn't changed in 200 years, maybe a lapel gets a little wider or a tie gets narrower from time to time. But it's usually always the same. There is stupidity in men's fashion. But women know who they are. They can change. Clothing is seductive for women. They get different personas by buying new clothes. But men don't.
Massimo VignelliScale is a mental - you can say that a lounger has scale, a building has scale, or an object has scale, or a page, or whatever if it's just right. A scale is a relationship to the object and the space surrounding it. And that dialogue could be music, or it could be just noise. And that is why it is so important, the sense of scale.
Massimo VignelliYou do design because you feel it inside; you have a moral issue to spread quality in our environment.
Massimo VignelliSo what is design all about? It [exists to] decrease the amount of vulgarity in the world ... to make the world a better place to be. It doesnโt have to be one style. Weโre not talking about style, weโre talking about quality. Style is tangible, quality is intangible. I am talking about giving to everything that surrounds us a level of quality.
