i agree, the Issey Miyake stuff was deffinitely my favorite of the work he showed.
i guess i'm just more optimistic about his intentions for the latter half of the presentation. i don't think he got up there to say "this is what i think, and you poor slobs should do something about it because i'm neville brody and i was hot shit in '89" i think he says what he says because he realizes that his notoriety affords him an opportunity to communicate his opinions to a select, yet reasonably broad audience. so rather than just show work and say "i designed this campaign and as a result, corporation X experienced a 25% increase in revenue", he uses these opportunities to convey ideals he thinks are important. obviously, they aren;t the only thing he thinks are important, otherwise, he would have given up fucking around w/ self-serving pursuits like designing fonts with random negative kerning.
