CM Now this is by any standards a pretty amazing statement. Can you tell us a bit about it?
JG That was from the Tibetan Barbie. No, yes, it was that collection, 'Goa', kind of like these chic hippies smoking cannabis.
CM Sort of seventies feel.
JG A little bit, a little bit yeah, Zandra (Rhodes), those looser shapes, Bill Gibb, very kind of London vibe and the little beads, smoking joints, walking down the beach that vibe for that kind of dress just seemed the right, you know worn with these like backless sporty trainers and Rosemary (Ferguson) is wearing that, and that was painted by George Krivoshey, and tie dyed too, but done in this amazing design. There wasn't anything left to, it wasn't haphazard, it's quite amazing colours.
CM And that's really what makes it very contemporary really because these aren't quite the sort of London colours.
JG No, and not a literal copy of ethnic things. It was all like Karma Sutra, look at these two here what they're doing. AndrÈ ordered pyjamas but he wanted us to remove the breast so there was more of a, of kind of hermaphrodite, and he looked amazing. Like Pukka Pants, and then look at that suppressed air behind the plastic, it's like echoing the shape of the dress it's fab isn't it?
CM Yes. So it's almost like the centre of a huge flower, you know, like Georgia O'Keefe, like a lily picture or something, he's got that sort of quality, it's going out like huge petals.
JG Yes, it you squint it is a bit like the, it is you know, because those greys and the white petal and then this intense colour in the middle.
CM Georgia O'Keefe would understand that absolutely perfectly, that picture.
