I haven’t read the new Brett Easton Ellis book Imperial Bedrooms yet so this isn’t a review, but he’s been in London doing press for it this week. Inspired me to pick up the latest Interview magazine and read the Christopher Bollen feature about him. The main thing that stuck out for me was this quote:

“I really think New York is over, man. L.A. is the future. It’s much more cutting edge than New York, I’m sorry. Yeah, it has an immense doucheness to it. It does. But also, the cool parts are so much cooler than New York right now. I think New York’s really old-school. I can’t explain it. That’s just where I’m at. And also, I don’t believe that whole idea that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. If you survive L.A. and get over that initial hurdle, then you can make it anywhere.”

I’ve never stayed in either for longer than a month but I think it’s a pretty penetrating view and I wonder how many people share it.

The legend of John Charles Fare (or Faré) is the story of a man who slowly destroyed his own body.

My first DvN show. Obviously, I have a soft spot for the Skinhead reference, but more than that, this was the most convincing use of this peculiar style by a fashion designer! Also, congratulations for the most relevant use of tattooed boys I’ve seen so far. Dries, I love you. (Show took place on the 1st day, so same excuse as for Rick Owens, for the blurry pics… sorry).
