On the eve that I planned my blog post about what I expect from a Creative Director, your blog post came as a wonderful spark on my engine.

1. Your observation of the designer + seniority + clothes is an interesting one as it reminds me of my observation in art school: the designer / artist who care most about how they look often have the shittiest work. To me they try too hard to look like an artist when really it's their work and not their clothes which defines them.

2. Look no further than the photoshoot for Advertising Age's Who's who among digital independents for division on suits vs casual. It appears that suits appear to be winning (I can't tell if they're all creatives though)

3. My opinion on this matter is that as long as a creative director serve as a great source of ideas and inspiration, I can care less what they wear. It's when they only can present well, dress well, but cannot think of anything innovative which bothers me tremendously (I'll get my act together to create my post :)

Are you available for drinks / lunch some time? Would be great to catch up!

Cheers,
See-ming
