SO SUREAL SEEING REAAALLLL WARHOLS PIECES!! LONDON FASHION WEEK! > WAS A VIRGIN TO UNTIL LAST MONTH. THEY ALLOWED ME TO SEE HOW I WAS GOING TO BLOW UP THE FASHION INDUSTRY. HAHA (serious)
Where/who do you draw your inspiration from? INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE (cliché!)I AM MAINLY INFLUENCED BY INDUSTRIAL CULTURE, FAME, DYING SOCIETY, HIGH/STREET FASHIONS AND CONTEMPORY POETRY (lyrics) WRITTEN BY ARTISTS SUCH AS LADY GAGA, KANYE WEST, KID CUDI, SANTOGOLD, ARCTIC MONKEYS, VAMPIRE WEEKEND. ... i could go on ... lol
Define yourself in 5 words. IM FREE FROM STEREOTYPE SUKAAAS!!
Tell me about your blog Saturated Youth.
SATURATED YOUTH IS ABOUT OUR GENERATION, ITS ABOUT A LACK OF ORIGINALITY IN CREATIVE INDURSTIES DUE TO BARRIERS SUCH AS, STEREOTYPING, GREED, FAME AND NON-REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY. I FEEL THAT WE CAN NEVER CREATE ANOTHER WARHOL, ANOTHER MARYLN, AND ANOTHER PICASSO OUR ORIGINALITY NOW WILL NEVER BE INSPIRED FROM ONLY THE REALITIES OF LIFE BUT WILL ALWAYS HAVE STRONG CONNOTATIONS TO PREVIOUS HERO'S.
.. (all too depressing).. MY BLOG DOES CELEBRATE THIS INFACTUATUION WITH PAST/PRESENT WORK AND THE STATE OF OUR SOCIETY > CREATING ART REPRESENTING OUR GENERATION!
Are there any artists, designers, producers...anyone you want to work with? ARTISTS I WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH.... TOOOO MANY
SHORTLIST: Jean charles de castelbajac, Kanye west, Katie eary, Carri mundane (cassette playa), your very own LUKE from Art/Hustle, Lady gaga, Robbie spencer (stylist), ID mag, NICHOLA FORMICHETTI.
