Don't remember if this has been posted, but the Rick interview in 032C is worth reading.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

"I’m not very shy. I think shyness is a form of vanity that’s silly."
Only someone who admits to have taken steroids and works out religiously could admit to an opinion like this.
But I like his interviews as well.
I find them humorous, which I guess is what he's going for many times. There's no doubt he's very intelligent and thoughtful at times but he can definitely be, as he admitted, cliche as a 'fashion designer.'
The story of how he came to commission a bust of himself is, well, pretty revealing.
He almost comes across as this muscular, masculine version of Morrissey. Who seems to have gone for a slightly less illegal, less flamboyant version of Oscar Wilde. You know...the kind of person who quotes himself at dinner parties and justifies it philosophically when he contradicts himself.
But I much prefer that person to someone more serious and boring. He's interesting and articulate enough to pull it off.
It's always fascinating to compare the art with the artist and look for some kind of consistency when you're a fan of their work.
The work is, after all, ultimately what matters.Originally posted by mizzarSorry for being kind of a dick to you.

Yes, he definitely has Wildean traits. I love Rick's interviews too - and I always have fun interviewing him. He is as at ease with himself as a designer can get.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

/\ indeed, it can. i think what rick is saying is something like that insecure people are often very self-centered, which could be seen as vain. but, yes, you can simply be shy.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
