This bugs me (in Pink Paislee's new line)

Definitely kind of dumb.

I get that they're going with the 'say yes to new adventures' kind of thing but it doesn't sound right to me either.

Just, no.

I didn't realise this was part of the Summer Lights collection.

And I don't get why they used this. It's so intertwined with architectural practice BIG's graphic novel about archictural evolution (and the exhibition that went with it). For BIG, "Yes is more" a play on words that embodies the change in architecture we have seen lately. Mies Van der Rohe was the father of the modernist revolution in architecture (which can be summed by the good ol' "Less is more") in which architecture was liberated from all the traditional constraints such as style and history. But this approach then quickly degenerated in some sort of minimalist aesthetic. The book then goes through several adaptations of the catchphrase until it reaches Obama. Analysing his "Yes we can" campaign, BIG comes to the "Yes is more" idea which stands for the end of rebellion against the establishment, a radical no, but the active pushing of the evolution of society itself as the ultimate act of change in which all the social contradictions became the driving force of the next step (demonstrated for archicture, obviously), making it a process in which the entire population is an active participant.
It was a really big (pardon the bad pun) thing when it came out. The exhibition was, you've guessed it, centered around a building (the Danish pavillion at the Shangai World Expo).

So, to me, the inclusion of this phrase in a scrapbook line doesn't make much sense. Am I the only who sees it as completely tainted by architecture?

Oh well. It's one amongst many others. I'm not getting stuck on it. Just a bit puzzled.

If not for this thread, I would have just thought it was a crummy typo.

I still don't think it's all that cool, but whatever. Not trendy and hip over here.
