“You're back.”


彼の横に座った。
私たちの横には、「奇妙」な服を着た女子高生の一団。腹を空かせたライオンが近づいてたって気にしなそうだった。


今日は何?

The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
私はそれを閉じて彼に返答した。
彼はその本のカバーを確認すると同時に足元にある大きなナイロンのバックパックの中に入れてしまった。

バニラのようなかすかな香りが空気の中の見えない塵のように鼻をつついたー

「君がいた世界を思えている?」



「あまり..」

指のリングを緩めながら、私はつぶやいた。
6,000マイルの彼方でさようならと言ってしまった。



「良くない。何もかもがー」

私の友人が星のない夜空をほんのつかの間だけ見上げて、私の人生で置き去りにされたサウンドトラック、嫌に記憶に留まるメロディーをハミングし始めた。



宇宙のダイヤモンドは頭上のキャンバスに再び現れる。

酔いつぶれた友人が石のように砕け散った私の若い恋愛と古びた橋の間をいとも簡単に飛び越えた地点まで私を呼び戻す。

My very own Erotic City.







History

What was the most difficult thing when you became a designer?

I'm not sure.

From the practical aspect to the technical side, what was the most difficult part of the design process?

Probably the patterns.


Concept

What's the main inspiration behind The Erotic City?

Mainly music and photography. Musicians and photographs from the periods I admire have been the subject of my work. The influence from people has been great.
Glaswegian bands from the mid 80s and 90s, such as Jesus & Mary Chain and Primal Scream have inspired my work a lot for example.

What's the brand concept?

I can only partly explain it with words, but my work represents a period of longing, music, people, my own homage to the clothes and photographs of youth culture, graphics, and so on.

What's been the inspiration for your latest collection?

I haven't stuck to just one theme for this collection. During the planning stage, the music I was mainly listening to was by a band called Prinzhorn Dance School. They provided the framework for the spring/summer collection as I tried to imagine what kind of clothes they would wear and work from that.

What is style for you?

I think it's knowing your heroes.

The clothes are?

Colour, silhouette, textile and facial expression.

The word is?

Glasgow


Future

Do you have any ambitions or future objectives for The Erotic City?

I'm not really sure about ambition, but I want to raise the quality, search for the kids who can reflect on my own reality and leave them behind as pictures.

Are you considering going international?

Sure, it's very important to me that as many people as possible be able to see my work.
