| I'm not ultra high tech but I will
listen to new music and when I hear it, its just like reading a book. You're
listening and you're making the video in your head. The Guggenheim had this digital
exhibit .They had this one piece that I thought was so fascinating. They had a
keyboard and as you touched the keyboard, to make a note, a projector would run
lights up this string.. It was amazing, absolutely amazing . I think music and images
definitely tie together Were you listening to specific bands or mixed DJ tapes? I tend to gravitate more towards bands like The Cult or ..Bikini Kill...bands which are offsprings of traditional rock n roll. Based off of that I listen to bands like Prodigy, or Underworld but the ones who capture it the most were this band, called Atari Teenaged Riot. They're out of Germany. They're definitely digital hard-core. Well that digital feeling is very powerful in this city right now. How would you say working in New York impacts on your aesthetic? Dramatically! Now that I'm working on the Spring 98 collection, I'm definitely paying more and more attention to people on the streets. I mean the energy level here is immense ...you can't walk out onto the street without seeing someone interesting. But now I'm also starting to pay attention to the physical streets, the physical things that I walk on, like the patterns on the street. Y'know, like oil and water after the rain... Urban textures Very urban textures Fashion is totally a product of place. If I'm in London I need that certain aesthetic to remind me I'm in London... |
