'Clockwork of Colours'

'Patchwork Orange: Recidivism and Activism in 'Digital''

By Lewis RF Shaw


In London, what seems many years ago, Daisy Ridley, the Comicon magnate for movie enthusiasts, especially with Adam Driver as the torn-apart soul, we all loved to hate.. we find;


Profiles, tastes, and aesthetics are changing.


From watching 'The Joker' in Piccadilly's 'Empire' not once, but twice, at the end of last year, to working furiously while moving apartments from Dolphin Square to Greenwich at the beginning of this year; the political and economic landscape has not disappointed.


The 'Star Wars Saga' didn't just end with the last of the movies and an endless number of off-shoots, but in kicking off a new era in forward looking #biomedicine. The complex mesh of stars that make up the Corona Borealis, the staggering drop in sales of Corona, and the special guest; Covid virus itself; opened up Imagineering in genetic medicines, genetics, eco-sciences, physics, fashion, and finance.


Brexit, always in the background in rows with the French over fish, and Trade Directives with Brussels, with the Prime Minister almost dying in the first ' #lockdown '; the argument over Twin deficits, becomes a distant memory for some, even #Covid is morphing to being a hated ally rather than a threat to our wellbeing. Social Welfare is less opaque as an initiative for change; so why not fashion and art??

'The Winter of our Discontent', altered for psychological ends, becomes: 'Globalization and our Discontents',

..and between cure and disease there may yet be a pattern for a Jolly Christmas.'



As a base consumer myself, I'd find the reemergence of a commercial détente with China conversionary. #Quantre outflows are at an all-time high to the distress of the hawks and fiscal conservatives., 'let's make a deal!' seems cautionary going into the last quarter and new year, but, heck, it's Christmas, time to export some inflation to somewhere other than #bitcoin!


Having said that, the rise of #inflationary risk has also carried a lot of current capital overseas to emerging markets where #EMEA themes in dresses and jewelry have become more Avant Garde than before scratching designers to reimagine the walkway to offer customers and professionals a snapshot of the fore-front in philanthropy and #inclusionary commerce.


Meanwhile, #supplychains globally have become challenging obstacles for exporters and importers adding to more guesswork in the cloakrooms and have forced even #Amazon to rethink retail logistics, space, science, and consumer cyclicals as a matter of business pride.


The real 'estate' in the accessories and fashion market being 'consumer tourism' , today, Monday, October 8th, 2021, the US has once again opened its doors to consumers in Europe, and visa versa rushing to find their favorite hobbies, playgrounds and shops. The anticipation-consumption gap is a credible reason for the boom in the US employment levels going into this month, as the race for #Christmas becomes an imminent opportunity to scratch an itch of several years.


Inflationary economics aside; the big value-added fashion and beauty companies in Europe, and in New York should be expecting the #consumerdiscretionary / #luxury cycle perfectly positioned for a decent seasons relief spree.

As of writing this a cohesion of colors from 12 months of weekend FT's comes to mind, highlighting the backlog of narrative in the highs and lows of the previous year. Conservative estimates say 5 million perished although one can only assume more.


Lives were also saved; medical breakthroughs made, economic synergies created, and financial frameworks in supporting 'progressive' causes fashioned to achieve a tenuous, yet peaceful market for cross border pollination of ideas.


A color that has been added to the collage is the #climateaction; green. The world's leaders are doing their able best to carry the #netzero humanitarian torch as far as it will go in as little a time as allowed; adding another layer of brazen creativity to the years ahead.


For my part this is the first time, while working in financial sales, previously trading, had the chance to enjoy a newspaper with so much specificity ,and at times bragging, in gardening landscape and color-variety flowers and hedges.


For a tame summer by my standards it was certainly a thoughtful one, even as my neighbors seem to have the better of me in choice of gardens!


Thanks
