Time for a new creative uniform?

The Converse trainers, the sweatshirts and ringspun denim, the over-designed T-shirts. It’s fine in your twenties, but after that it starts to look a bit unsure and furtive. There’s nothing more sinister than a grown man in a teenager’s clothes.

As a designer living in the fashionable quartier of Hackney I suspect you do rather deeply.

Ahh, the great design issues of our age! I think jeans, t-shirts and comfortable shoes have been worn by many over the last 100 plus years, workmen, gold prospectors, creatives, the employed, the unemployed, children, adults, women, men, grandmothers and Nick Kamen. Rather than a statement, it is usually adaptive, comfortable clothing worn by those who don't have to express serious motive or authority while at work. When authority or sincerity in the face of clients is necessary, then a suit can be the right psychological weapon.
I find it hard to believe that i got so many words out on this pointless subject, can we please see some serious typographic or design related blogs here soon, i am starving for it, or maybe i will defect forever, and spend my time doing the rounds of some of the amazing blogs i frequent such as grain edit.
