Viktor & Rolf:


“Viktor & Rolf Vision, abides by Viktor & Rolf's haute couture spirit, with a focus on innovation, iconic shapes, *premium materials* and sophisticated detailing. The distinguished frames feature classic elements with a contemporary Viktor & Rolf twist.” 



John Galliano:

Oakford Social Club setting, dark, high culture venues with cultural significance.

John Galliano, Photographer: Annie Leibovitz, Vogue, September 2000



David Lachapelle:


Classic high culture aesthetic qualities with modern subtleties - wall colour makes such a difference to the grandouise of the setting - deep and rich jewel tones are the way forward along with V&R *premium materials* velvet/silk/feathers/snakeskin/satin/lace
The title of the series is what first drew me in, there’s something psychedelically enlightened about it. Reminded me of something I said in an interview for Cult Clash.

Daniel Lismore:


The high life, night life, celebrity, fame - what is fame? How is it measured? Fake it till you make it? How do you imitate such a frivolous and made up concept to the point where it becomes real? Is fame drag? Continue using fame to my own advantage.
