Storey is one of those designers who eschews personal glitter

And what does fashion get from pushing back boundaries? Storey describes what she is doing as New Fashion (a neologism hitherto applicable chiefly to those
in new Labour who saw fit to get out of baggy-kneed cords and eggy ties and into strict blue suiting.) Certainly old fashion is deadly dull. The verve of the
sixties and the seventies has mutated into shop rails full of dull, routine clothes with little-bar a Spice Girls platform trainer- to suggest inspiration or innovation.

Storey is one of those designers who eschews personal glitter. I think she was wearing the same rubber flip-flops as when we met three years ago. Are we all
going to become utilitarians now; happy to promote new fashion to art status while declining to buy clothes that bore rather than inspire? If Storey does not
exactly envisage the demise of the British fashion industry, nor does she see a great future for it.

“Many designers have been stuck in a rut. They can’t start drawing off the nineties yet. It’s too early. But if you’re in the business, you can’t admit that.
If you always have to do another collection, it’s difficult to flow through ideas. You have to be totally commercial.

“Plus, as a medium, fashion has great restrictions on where it can go as an experiment. The British public has problems with ideas when it’s something they
have to wear.”

Storey’s experimentation was in great part enforced by bankruptcy and a failure to win in the commercial game. She does not, she says, regret her departure,
apart from missing the drama of presenting a collection. “A part of me will always be attracted to the process of performance -just not to any of the rest of
the crap. And that’s essential if you’re running a business. But what I want to do is find a use for fashion beyond flogging another dress.”

If innovation in fashion is dragged down by the commercial imperative, then science – though she does not say so – is more dangerously bedevilled by a
similar problem.

The only long-term answer to renewable energy is fusion, but even the current eco-frenzy does not appear to have speeded up the costly research required.
Post-Einsteinian physics and the quest for the smallest particle of matter moves slowly, hampered by the cost of providing more and bigger accelerators.
