Words of the Year – V Magazine
Johannes Reponen, editor of fashion journal Address, turns to Lady Gaga for his most memorable piece of writing from 2011.
“There has been a lot of discussion around criticism this year. Grafik dedicated 14 pages in issue G193 to graphic design criticim, whilst Design Observer has continued to publish interesting pieces about design criticism in general. As a journal for fashion writing and criticism, Address is of course interested in these discussions, but we were disappointed that in the field of fashion criticism the only real contribution this year came from none other than Lady Gaga. Her ‘Memorandum No3’ published in V magazine this autumn addressing what she calls ‘extreme critic fundamentalism’ is hence our favourite (as well as least favourite) article of the year.
