I don't know if I how I feel about Bernard-Henri Lévy (and I dare ask any of my french friends), but I am definetely sure how I feel about Interview magazine and there he was, in one of the first pages of this month's issues. This is one of his quotes:
" People always say that we must remain faithful to tradition, to family, to our class, to our ideas, of course not! That would be equivalent to zero brain activity. If you really want to think, to seek truth, to advance intellectually you must turn your back on cliches, on preconceived ideas."
For BHL the intellectual's true duty is not to fidelity but no infidelity. I think the same applies to fashion.
