I was recently inspired to discuss versatility. Ordinarily, I believe that one should be very good at one area or even just a sub category of said one area. I believe it brings you closer to your audience by having a niche and if you spend your time developing specifically, you become exponentially better practiced than if you were to spend your time developing in 5 different areas. Plus there is obvious evidence of focus in your work.
I am the kind that has so many ideas and wants to do so many things that I simply cannot focus on just one. But there is some hope... the Louis Vuitton Fall 2011 collection had me in awe of the amazing designs so varied in style. Not that Louis Vuitton needs to be versatile considering the height of the pedestal -or maybe that's why the pedestal is as high as it is. I'm convinced the reason this complex collection works is because of the array in terms of diverse garment designs and how they are sequentially organized to complement each other. In the end, all of these pieces fit together seamlessly, though if you plucked a couple from the bunch at random, you may -depending on the pieces in question- be left thinking, "Ah mon dieu."
Yes, I suppose it is possible to be completely marvelous at a variety of topics, but we should keep in mind that the presentation is everything.
