That is not to say that Maddona wearing her bra outside of her dress wasn't original but Yves St. Laurent designing a new dress has greater commercial value in my estimation. Improvements to what we have are certainly easier to make and see early commercializtion. That is not unlike generic drugs where those generic drug manufacturer companies did not make the same investment into the discovery of the original drug. They each have their place in the commercial world but the originator is more of what I refer to as being the true inventor and the rest simply re-packagers of that original invention. Anyway here I go again making comments on a book I didn't read.
