<\/p>\n\u201cThose visions of the astronauts,\u201d she says, referring to Artemis II and the photos of our planet they shared, \u201cwere absolutely incredible, but you could see [against] the pictures of Earth in \u201972 from Apollo [17], the Earth is now, grayer,\u201d she says. \u201cI mean, wake up. It\u2019s crazy. It\u2019s in front of everybody\u2019s eyes, and then there\u2019s [some] trying to kill populations for oil. It\u2019s very disturbing,\u201d she says. \u201cA life achievement award\u2026 you always think that your voice, or what you do, you express it and it\u2019s going in the right direction, but right now it\u2019s a failure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yet Lamy is still hopeful. \u201cBut I can never give up,\u201d she says. \u201cThere are people who have been fighting all the time, and we are expressing ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Only at the tail end of our conversation does fashion come up as a topic. I ask her what she makes of the way the industry has changed. She first mentions Owens\u2019s shows and Rei Kawakubo\u2019s for Comme des Gar\u00e7ons as good examples of self-expression in fashion. Then, she makes something clear: \u201cI don\u2019t like to hear the words brand or industry,\u201d she says, \u201cbut I think doing things that you express yourself and do something of the time, is resistance. It\u2019s the way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then speaks about the youth. \u201cWe have our new kids, Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales<\/a>,\u201d she says, who are part of the Owens and Lamy extended creative family. \u201cWhen we are storytellers, the artist, the poet, the writer, we are the resistance,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Does Lamy think the world can still be saved? \u201cIt\u2019s not with more guns, or AI,\u201d she says. I ask her further about AI. \u201cYeah, we got fucked up,\u201d she offers matter of factly. We laugh, as do the people off-camera in the room. She then brings up New York, which she says is \u201cbetter looking\u201d than Paris always, but more so now. \u201cNow, with [Zohran] Mamdani<\/a>, there is hope,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThose visions of the astronauts,\u201d she says, referring to Artemis II and the photos of our planet they…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2388,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,25,2590,2591,2592,1983],"class_list":{"0":"post-2387","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ai","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-fashion","11":"tag-style","12":"tag-textabovecentergridwidth","13":"tag-web"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
