I don't know if you can read this interview (click on the picture to enlarge it). It is from the New York Magazine with Lilo on the cover (I posted about two posts ago). This is the Spring fashion issue and it is centered around "technicolor" cuz spring is the cmyk at the end of grayscale winter...and one of the featurettes is an interview with NY'ers who wear only one color (as long as it isn't black) and Stephin Merritt (who I know is a patron saint for Anthony) represents Brown and this is an interview about Merrit's relationship to the color Brown.
Just an aside--this is actually a really good issue, besides the pics of Lindsay (who has more freckles than I can count--I'm in disbelief that one person can be so covered with flecks and the pictures are well...she wears a scarf in one and that is about as dressed as she gets--She has so many dots that she rivals Spot in Dr. Seuss' "Put me in the Zoo"), the article on Heath Ledger, there is an interview/article focusing on the editor of French vogue--Carine Roitfeld. I read a piece about Carine Roitfeld years ago in Purple Fashion and found her fascinating in the short piece that appeared there, so a more in-depth piece is a welcome snack.
it's weird having stephin up as a patron saint right at this moment. i like some moments of distortion but i kinda abandoned it right away as a disappointment considering how much i'd been looking forward to it. when that second sixths album came out, though, he might have been a patron saint. and he may still be. but anyway, here's my story. a few years back i kept finding myself in film forum going to see maurice chevalier musicals... and strangely i found myself in the ticket holders line behind stephin merritt both for gigi and for the amazing crazy nearly 80-year-old "the love parade" which was just released by criterion/eclipse as part of the lubitsch musical boxed set... and in both instances he was dressed all in brown. he was also tiny. a tiny, tiny man.
personally, i also wear the same clothes over and over again but that's because i can't afford new ones.
