Is it a coincidence that the black and white silent film The Artist took home three awards? Maybe... But there's something quite strong coming out of the attraction between opposites, it's a union between light and darkness that we can all relate to.

Like piano keys, together they can produce a different sound. This sense of connection is very much needed today when giant corporations seem to rule the world and money has become the driving force of how we do business.

It's funny how both Giancarlo Giammetti in Valentino, the Last Emperor and Pierre Bergé in Yves Saint Laurent: L'Amour Fou have said that the world of fashion has been taken over by investment bankers and how it's all about money now.

Think of Gucci and UNICEF's alliance; Diane Von Furstenberg has also different initiatives aimed at helping the world, so even if it is just a marketing tool, these multinational companies are giving back something and why? Because we care. So we can make a difference.

I was appalled to see how consumers buy more and more at Primark despite the documentaries that have emerged about child labour. Why is it so cheap? We shouldn't give in to the money mentality, it's worth having a smaller wardrobe.
