I think the fans of the old-school Internet shorts were a little bit older just because it was racier material.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was so aware of the stage clothes versus the everyday-life clothes, and the extremeness of the stage clothes that my parents had designed. Even coming across my dad's old Beatles suits from Savile Row and the history attached to them - the masculinity and simplicity compared to the '70s glitz and glamour of Wings.
I'm a big fan of, like, wearing old, vintage slips and stuff as outdoor wear. I got, like, a pair of these little silk bloomers. I think they were even, like, considered underwear in the '40s. I wore them as shorts the other day.
When I went into the computer shop to change my last laptop, the 19-year-old kid behind the counter looked at my six-year-old model and described it as 'vintage.' 'Vintage?' I wanted to scream. 'Son, I've got shirts older than you! I own underpants that have seen more of the world!'
I guess I'd never formed any hard opinions of '80s fashion, other than that it was pretty outrageous, you know.
A lot of my collections are informed by nostalgia. I think that's because I loved clothes early on. I remember, at maybe age five, being concerned about what I wore, right down to the underwear.
When I was a kid, I was trendier. I'd wear anything. I was in love beads and platforms.
The older I get, the less I need. I wear the same jean shorts for the whole week. I'm not running to the store to get the latest bag.
What I always loved about vintage clothes is that you let the woman who wore it before you live on in some way.
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
I don't understand leggings. They were the worst trend of the '80s.
