Oh! Nena
Vice: So where does Oh! Nena come from?
Oh! Nena:
Yeah, but where geographically speaking?
A pretty part of the world. I was surprised to see this kind of thing come out of Venezuela. I thought they shot you for wearing things like that.
Who buys your head pieces?
I saw the wedding stuff on your site. How did that come about?
I like the fact you’re taking on such a tacky tradition.
I thought most things in Venezuela were totally tacky.
OK, so what makes you stand out? What don’t you want to be associated with?
For example?
Now we’re cooking! And how about those photos that pregnant women have taken of themselves that look like softcore porn?
Nooo…
OK. Can you explain why anybody would do that?
Change of subject. Why just headwear instead of a full fashion line?
I associate those little hats with the 50’s. Here in Spain old women still wear them.
So what are your favorite headwear moments from history?
So is there a place for you in a socialist country?
I’m sure you could do a deal with the state.
Oh! Nena
Gotcha. Who would you like to make a hairpiece for?
Catherine Baba
What would you make for Hugo Chavez?
Hitler then?
