Karl Lagerfeld, the creative director of Chanel, has urged designers not to allow difficult economic times to usher in an era of boredom.

Speaking to Today presenter Evan Davis, he said that crises often generated the most exciting new developments in fashion.

"In a bad moment, change is the best thing that could happen," he explains.

I think this applies not just to fashion, but to innovation in general. We run the risk, when things get bad, of closing down and trying to maintain the status quo out of fear or just complacency, but it's when things are bad that we're most motivated to find new ways to move forward and most likely to be courageous enough to take necessary steps toward doing so.
