Wall Street, House of Ninja, and Nude Burial
Vice: When did you get into fashion?
Telfar: Weren’t you involved with the drag scene a while back? Do you still hang out with those people? What were some of the inspirations for your latest collection? That makes sense. As weird as some of your stuff is it all seems really functional. You make jewelry, too. What’s it like? We wanted to ask you to draw your funeral outfit. So, what is it? What would you like to be wearing when you’re buried? Oh, OK then, what about for the viewing?
KATY RODRIGUEZ:
Resurrection, Roxy Music, and Overalls
Vice: Tell me a little bit about how you got started making fashion.
Katy: What’s the vibe for your most recent collection? What’s your take on the LA fashion scene? Do you think you’d ever show a collection on the West Coast? If you could dress anyone in your clothing, who would it be? Who would you like to collaborate with in the future? laughs Hey, you never know! Do you wear your own designs? MALAN BRETON:
Proj Run, ESPN, and Russian Mythology Vice: So how did you get started?
Malan: But you’ve had no formal training whatsoever? You were a model at one point too though, right? So up till this point you’d basically worked in every aspect of the fashion world except for design. Extreme Sports Where are your clothes made? What are you working on for spring? I bet you didn’t imagine being here a couple of years ago. Project Runway Thanks for talking to us. And PS: Let’s do this plug as clumsily as possible—you have a thing done by Bravo called Malan’s Show and it is on bravotv.com and it’s good. CATHERINE FULMER:
Cobalt Blue, That Joy Division Movie, and Spacing Out In the Fabric Store Vice: So, how long have you been doing this stuff?
Catherine: And how did you go about it? V Damhave as a mentor. Cute. What kind of girl do you design for? Well, it’s true so it doesn’t matter if it’s a cliché. What was the inspiration for your most recent collection? Control Are movies typically a big part of your clothing? Annie Hall Women’s Wear Daily Where else do you draw inspiration from? Do you think the fashion industry in New York right now is good, or is it gross? Would you ever want to collaborate with him or anyone else? What are you working on for spring?
