i think what the designers today need to get back to is the ‘attitude’ the designers had in the ’60’s, ’70’s, even the ’50’s. there was no retro for them to fall back on. the designers were bold, and came up with new and fabulous creations.
looks wise the cars in that era were amazing and beautiful, partly because they were new and never seen before. and partly because they just simply were more artistic. we need more new , more groundbreaking, more imagination, we dont need to copy the designs (even though some are fantastic). we need to copy the designers mindset.
so lets get back to that ‘retro’ ‘attitude’. not nessesarily the retro ‘look’.
we see some amazing concepts, then, come to production, the style gets dumbed down, the suits in head office chicken out, or something.
just some thoughts,
