Interview with a famous designer about the collection of a new Norwegian designer. Interviewer: What do you think of the new Spring-Summer collection of this new designer? Designer: I feel his idea is truly sensational, but not for this season. Interviewer: Why? Designer: Because he has used too many autumn colours, the brown and the green... Interviewer: He has also used plain cotton fabrics, what do you think about that? Designer: It seems awful to me, in summer we need fresh fabrics like linen. Interviewer: Yes, but the designer is Norwegian. Designer: That explains why he includes wool hats in his collection.
