On this day 3 years ago we visited the fabulous monastery of Batalha. It was ordered to be built by decree of the king in 1385 as a gratitude gift to the Virgin Mary after his army won a critical battle. He and the queen and some later kings are entombed there in elaborately carved marble.

Ann Demeulemeester spring—summer 1999.

How do you suggest movement? How do you un-balance a body? How do you ‘cut’ a garment that challenges gravity? These question result, with Ann Demeulemeester, in clothes that evoke the illusion of movement, even when the wearer is standing still. Trousers slip down a little, a cardigan gapes open, a draped dress exposes a shoulder: mainly impressions of a casualness that would never betray the complicated study which was often required to achieve it. 

How can I make a collection from painter’s canvas? That was the basic question behind the Summer 1999 collection. This favourite material, which she had already used for invitations, displays and even tables, was ‘translated’ into an almost exclusively white collection. The shapes, developing further on those she started for the Winter 1998-99 collection, were conceived from what Ann Demeulemeester describes as ‘zero base’, the source of the ‘shape issue’; to set aside the repertoire of traditional patterns and to confront herself with the essence of a garment: a piece of material which you can wrap around yourself. 

This ever-recurring issue, and the difficult task she has set herself, seem to be Ann Demeulemeester’s raison d’être. A ‘de-depicted’ world, which allows entirely new ideas to develop, in which a simple intervention is all-important, in which nothing disrupts the investigation of the body, or wearability. And a world in which the whole gamut of emotions evoked by a garment — from surrender to rejection, from security to alienation — can be meticulously constructed …

The cloth is holy.

When I was 15, 16, when I really started to play guitar, I definitely wanted to become a musician. It was almost impossible because it was — the dream was so big, that I didn't see any chance because I was living in a little town, was studying, and when I finally broke away from school and became a musician I thought 'Well, now I may have a little bit of a chance.' because all I really wanted to do is music, and not only play music but compose music. At that time in Germany, in '69, '70. They had already discotheques. So I would take my car, would go to a discotheque, sing maybe 30 minutes. Think I have about 7 or 8 songs. I would partially sleep in the car, because I didn't want to drive home. And that helped me for about almost 2 years to survive in the beginning. I wanted to do an album with the sounds of the 50s, the sounds of the 60s, of the 70s, and then have a sound of the future and I said 'Wait a second, I know the synthesizer, why don't I use the synthesizer which is the sound of the future?' and I didn't have any idea what to do but I knew I needed a click so we put a click on the 24 track which then was synced to the Moog modular. I knew that could be a sound of the future, but I didn't realize how much impact it would be. Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony and of music being "correct". You can do whatever you want. So , nobody told me what to do and there was no preconception of what to do.

My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.

stop it because moonage daydream (the movie) actually kind of put into perspective how big david bowie's fanbase became. at the start it showed concerts in the 70s at ziggy stardust and then at his 80s concerts the crowds were so big its. like for one person. one man to have such a large crowd in that gap of time is just crazy to me

like. fucking look at that. ?????
