«I LIKE BORING THINGS»

There is a lot of hyperbole in fashion (absolutely definitely more than there is in any other industry you can possibly dream of, ever), but hyperbole is the province of the low-ranking fashion person. The further up the ranks you climb, the more subdued your language becomes. At a certain point, you become too grand to enthuse. Ultimately you'll be too grand to even speak. From then on you communicate only through ironically arched eyebrows, displeased huffs and impatient snorts. No one's gonna be able to read much in your eyes, because they'll be cold, flinty and glazed, as if you're quite, quite bored - by everything and everybody.
