ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD FLORENCIA MANGINI GAYE ADVERT, ORIGINAL 1977 PULL-OUT POSTER FROM RECORD MIRROR I usually work searching references and inspiration for whatever work related with fashion or style I’m into. I found Gaye while I was exploring English female punk rockers. When this image appeared I could not believe her style and pose in front of the camera. I took a look at the videos of The Adverts and she was very low-profile, she used to play bass. Black hair & eyeliner & nail polish, pale skin, motorcycle jacket and jeans. She was a complete fashion icon, her face is amazing, she looks pretty strong in the photos but if you listen to her she has a sweet, feminine voice. This old poster shows her awesome rock presence.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD PHIL KING THE DAMNED AT THE ROXY, LONDON, 1977. PHOTO © DEREK RIDGERS Taken from Derek’s excellent recently published book Punk London 1977. Derek is famous for his street and club portraiture – and as a NME photographer during the ’80s and ’90s. At this time Derek was working in advertising and took photos in his spare time as a hobby. I love the snarl on David Vanian’s face, baring his canines. I like to think that the guy on the left, like the other older man on the opposite side of the stage also in a leather jacket, is the stage security, but photographer Derek told me that they were just friends of the band who stepped in to help.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD VUVUVULTURES MICK JONES AND PAUL SIMONON (THE CLASH), 1977. PHOTO © SYD SHELTON We found this poster in our hallway when we first moved to London. Almost didn’t recognise The Clash members because of their mental shirts in this picture! They also look mildly insane which is nice. Had it in our band room ever since we started so it will always remind us of late nights in a dirty London room, freezing cold, drinking beer, eating pizza and making music together. (and trying not to get electrocuted or blow anything up). / VVV

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD NICOLO CERIONI THE SEX BOOK, MADONNA. PHOTO © STEVEN MEISEL This book came out in 1992, stirring much controversy. Meisel and Madonna, both at the peak of their careers, joined forces to create a risky book, provocative, strong, extreme. In my opinion, the book is one of the many examples of Madonna’s audacity and deep artistic sensitivity. No other singer would have done anything like that, it would have wrecked anyone’s career. Sex here is used as a form of provocation, as liberation, a post-feminist sexuality in which woman dominates yet is subjugated, an ambiguous sexuality at a time when talking about homosexuality was quite a different thing than today, HIV was spreading; in the book sex is seen as pleasure and pain, delight and martyrdom. What fascinates me about Madonna is that she is always suspended between strength and provocation, intuition and culture, matter and spirit. Meisel is in a real state of grace in this book.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD CECILIA IBANEZ LUCA PRODAN (SUMO). PHOTO © EDUARDO REY Luca was the frontman of one of Argentina’s biggest bands, Sumo. Born in Rome into an aristocratic family, he attended the same school as Prince Charles. He also spent some time in prison, and went to Argentina to run away from heroin. He died in 1987 when he was 34 and by that time he had replaced heroin with Ginebra. Sumo kicked ass. I would stick Luca and Sumo’s pictures on my exercise book in school, I was a real fan. Every time I go back to Buenos Aires and see someone wearing their t-shirt I feel at home.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD NICOLO FORTUNI (NINOS DU BRASIL) SS DECONTROL (SSD), 1982. PHOTO © GLEN E. FRIEDMAN Boston. Massachusetts. My favorite hardcore scene ever. Straight-edge extremists with a taste for violence. Hockey sticks, blood, fists and broken teeth were the least common denominator for all the members of the Boston’s Hardcore movement. Due to the violence during shows the pictures that document the existence of this scene are very rare. One of them is the one I chose for you guys. As you can see in the picture the guitar player from SSD, Al Barile, is flying kicking someone from the audience. And probably this was just the beginning of what would become a real brawl. Those days are gone…. but never forgotten.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD FLORENCIA MANGINI PJ HARVEY, LOS ANGELES, 2004. PHOTO © VALERIE PHILLIPS I love this picture ‘cause it symbolizes my beginnings, working for fashion magazines. It was at the end of the 90s. No internet, no media going on about underground fashion in Buenos Aires, my city. But I started working for a big publishing house that used to receive all the magazines from around the world. No one paid attention to iD or The Face from the London scene, those where my faves at that time so I could read them pretty regularly. Always a fan of music, we used to mix fashion and rock all the time. The Nineties music scene was the last that produced authentically unique expressions. Nirvana, Pulp, Blur, Oasis, Stone Temple Pilots, Beastie Boys, it was commercial music but of good quality. PJ was among them, she had that dark, rough sexy starlet image. I love the colors in the photo.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD NICOLO CERIONI GRACE JONES. PHOTO © JEAN PAUL GOUDE I think Jean Paul Goude is a genius. He is much more than a photographer, much more than an art director. Goude is our own Fontana, he goes beyond the picture, he de-structures it to create a unique work. I love everything about Goude, from his ad campaigns to his editorial pictures, but in this case, since we are dealing with music, I cannot but mention his genius work featuring Grace Jones. I could have chosen a hundred pictures, I chose this one, immortal and iconic.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD EMILY BEAVER MORRISSEY, 1985. PHOTO © CHRISTINA BIRRER I can’t overstate the huge influence Morrissey has had on me, both with his music and visuals. And in a big way with his choice to use photos by Jürgen Vollmer for the album art of The Smiths “The World Won’t Listen”. Depicting rocker gangs of the early 60s, hanging out on the streets of Paris. After seeing those shots for the first time, and hearing that music, I was in deep and loyally devoted to Moz for ever more. In addition, I became a huge fan of Jürgen Vollmer’s photography, particular his “Rock ‘n’ Roll Times” series. The Smiths record sleeves and cover stars completely hooked me in, as did Morrissey’s own image. Particularly on his early solo material with his new band, made up of rockabilly ruffians. I love Linder Sterling’s candid photographs of Morrissey and his band around this time, which are collected together in her book, “Morrissey Shot”. Also Kevin Cummins’ book, “The Smiths and Beyond”, was an important photo book to me and one of the few I brought with me when I moved to the US many years later. Too hard to pick one favourite image but I’ll go with this timeless shot of Morrissey by Christina Birrer, a Swiss photographer who also collaborated artistically with Linder Sterling.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD PHIL KING THE WALKER BROTHERS ONSTAGE. PHOTO © BARRY DUNCAN This photo is worth the price alone for the sight of seeing ’60s miserablist Scott Walker actually being unwittingly forced to smile onstage. And where did the girl who fell to earth come from? If not the heavens, at least the balcony surely. The venue also looks like it was used previously for some sort of farming event, with what looks like straw at the bottom of that microphone lead.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD CORRADO NUCCINI (GIARDINI DI MIRÒ) LUCIO DALLA, 1987. PHOTO © LUIGI GHIRRI Ghirri has portrayed my homeland, adding elements of visionary poetics. Since I first saw his shots I have found myself fine-tuning my daily life, adjusting it to his vision. In this picture of Lucio Dalla one can spot the elements that have made the singer-songwriter famous, seen through Ghirri’s unique vision.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD EMILIANO COLASANTI MICHAEL STIPE (REM). PHOTOGRAPHER UNKNOWN R.E.M. were never just a band. R.E.M. were my favourite superheroes. The beauty of this picture is all in the strength of its message: there is only one person in front of the camera, but what you really see is a band.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD CORRADO NUCCINI (GIARDINI DI MIRÒ) MICHAEL STIPE (REM), 1995. PHOTO © ANTON CORBIJN When I picked this photo I discarded Gainsbourg dressed in women’s clothes, a beautiful portrait that William Claxton made of Bob Dylan, photos portraying Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, Cohen on Hydra, because basically I love this man and this picture is amazing, what more can I say?

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD VUVUVULTURES TOM WAITS, 2006. PHOTO © DANNY CLINCH Tom Waits has been my musical spirit animal ever since my friend Bob Wilson told me “Nicole, you like Tom Waits, trust me just listen.” He played me ‘Hoist that Rag’ and I’ve been hooked ever since. His clangy sounds, dirty riffs, delicious percussion, surreal story telling plus a bit of a latino vibe going through some of his melodies, mm. Tom is also an artist who has carved his own niche in the music world with a prolific 16 studio albums over 40 years. Every time he releases an album it’s still Tom Waits and it’s still genius. Here he is over 60 years old, continuing to make great music and also jumping above a giant stack of random speakers and amps and radios and tape machines. Inspirational and awesome! / Nicole

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD ENRICO MOLTENI (TRE ALLEGRI RAGAZZI MORTI) ROBERT SMITH (THE CURE). PHOTOGRAPHER UNKNOWN A gigantic poster of the Cure of Robert Smith used to stand out at my cousin’s, who was a few years older than me. When I was a child I used to spend hours staring at it, wondering why he was wearing lipstick, why he had his hair all over the place, why he looked so dazed. Meanwhile I was learning every song, every single word. I’m not sure, but probably I’ve found answers to all my “whys”.

ALLACCESS-MOODBOARD TIM DAVID BOWIE, IGGY POP & LOU REED, DORCHESTER HOTEL, LONDON 1972. PHOTO © MICK ROCK I chose this picture because it moves me a lot, now that both David Bowie and Lou Reed are gone. In a way, Iggy is a survivor, one of the last ‘kings’ of this ‘golden age’. It is very sad, I cried when David Bowie died… I was so sure that I would see him performing eventually, and he died before I could. But I did see Iggy Pop in Paris afterwards, during his Post Pop Depression Tour. I was very lucky: thanks to Troy Van Leeuwen from QOTSA (who I met in L.A when I was hanging out with Jehnny Beth from The Savages) I was authorized to take pictures during the whole show, and I was in the front row. It was really intense, it’s one of my best memories. This picture is great, they all look so amazing – and you can feel that the photographer is someone they trust, it’s not just like any random backstage photo. They’re giving something to the one who’s watching.
