Meet trend prophet Li Edelkoort

euronews | Meet trend prophet Li Edelkoort
Listen to an interview with the "wise woman" of the trend industry. She says that in our recent buy-buy-buy society "creativity was stalled." As she looks forward to a new era of creativity, we can already see the changes taking place in the architecture and design worlds. I don't think it was so much that creativity was stalled - there has been an ongoing undercurrent of ideas flowing freely, but the marketplace only wanted more and more of the same opulence thereby stalling much of the implementation of creative ideas since luxury items have always been highly conservative in any era.
