Stephen Bayley has noted Phillipe Stark's new BBC show as a garlic smelling version of Sir Alan's 'The Apprentice'... a little harsh perhaps and very Anglo of him (well done Stephen, keep up the good work with the stereotyping), I'm reserving judgement.
It's just a shame he is a Parisian, after all it is the BBC what's wrong with Dixon, Morrison, Arad, Lovegrove. This is the same as Gordon Brown's wonderful idea of offering a post to Carla Bruni as style advisor to the UK government last year. What the hell is it with us Brits asking the French?
This program will highlight the design process with elements vital to design and that has to be a bonus in creating a more design-literate populace, however when will British designers opinions hold stronger value with British organisations and governance?
London Design Festival has just opened, anyone going to Paris?
The program is at 9pm BBC2 (every Monday) or watch it on iPlayer
