This also reminded me a designer’s reaction when I showed him an eagle rays’s skin pattern, spontaneously suggesting it could make a great effect on a dress; the initial surprise was followed by bother and by ill-concealed discomfort. He felt his genius was devalued, as if it was me creating that breathtaking pattern. I had to explain him he could find quite a wide range of inspiring patterns already existing in nature. Valentino should mentioned who invented the roses in my opinion :)

sharing same frustrations - the fact most people are unable to accept any form of criticism and the loss of the ability ( and will ) to dialogue - in the era of communication - is dramatic. social media are a reflection of the real world therefore as you said it’s a matter of overexposure of simplification, ignorance and self-celebration.

I sometimes still dare to comment, but I think not only twice before doing it; maybe it’s a good thing in the end :) hasty comments are never accurate
