Low-Tech Beauty?

Fashion has a funny way of repeating itself. According to Vivienne Westwood, if you stay in the same fashion longer enough, you will eventually come into "fashion". I mention this because I read an article in the Telegraph that makes a point regarding Weleda's "old fashioned" packaging being considered stylish today. What we call backward, yesterday, we call revolutionary, today.

I recently read a bit in a women's magazine about the author's preference for high-tech beauty, but will settle for low-tech when it's ever so luxurious. I was stunned by this comment. I thought to myself, are we robots? No! We are human, what feeds and nurtures us is nature itself, we came from nature!

P/S You can find an interesting series of videos from Weleda that explains its beginnings and its philosophy here.
