I conducted this interview with Johannes Stüttgen in March 2024. At the time, my intention was to write an article exploring the connection between fashion and Joseph Beuys, and I interviewed Beuys’ former master student for that purpose. What emerged instead was a thought-provoking discussion on the very definition of fashion and its inherent weaknesses. My favorite line from our conversation: “Fashion must break away from fashion and become art.” Unfortunately, the interview is only available in German.
