In response to Paris Adams’s editorial piece in The 1851 Chronicle, I suggest the following:
Consider, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” In other words, think of the fashion department as a whole entity with various interconnecting threads rather than individual tracks that do not benefit one another.
