DIVE INTO FALL

Hedi Slimane reliably tunes out the noise of the fashion industry to produce collections that are deeply personal and rooted in his adoration of music. The designer’s recent Spring 2015 menswear show for Saint Laurent was dedicated to “Psych Rock’s New Rising,”— the latest stop on a tour through popular music that he’s has taken since his days at Dior Homme and Yves Saint Laurent. His work has spanned post-grunge, electroclash, garage rock, neo-soul, and West Coast folk in turn, always echoing the spirit of youthful rebellion. Simultaneous to his output in fashion, Slimane has built an iconic library documenting and chronicling his inseverable connection with rock and roll. His unforgettable portraits of Brian Wilson, Courtney Love, Lou Reed, and Amy Winehouse as well as emerging artists like Ariel Pink, Christopher Owens, and Sky Ferreira— many of which originally appeared in V—have established him as one of the greatest modern photographers not just in fashion, but also in music and art. This month, the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent opens Sonic, an exhibition of Slimane’s studio portraits taken from his 15-year archive, shown alongside a video installation that juxtaposes two musical cycles: London from 2003 to 2007 and California from 2007 to 2014. (An accompanying book will be published as well, featuring Slimane muse Christopher Owens on the cover.) The more recent years will include never-before-seen images from the likes of young bands Cherry Glazerr, Bleached, Mystic Braves, Froth, Foxygen, and La Femme. This encompassing overview will serve as a crystalline side-by-side comparison between two adjacent generations of performers and their fans, as well as a glimpse into two eras of Slimane’s personal history that have greatly shaped his idiosyncratic (and endlessly fascinating) vision. patrik sandberg

Polaroids and sketches for Miley Cyrus’s custom Fendi fur one-piece by Karl Lagerfeld, as sent to Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele

m a d f o r m i l e y This issue focuses on the art of rebellion. But before you think us punks or misfts, it should be noted that we’re not necessarily talking about that type of rebellion associated with being deliberately defant or rowdy, but rather with the idea of taking ownership of one’s ideas and craft and not compromising even when difcult situations arise. Staying true to one’s self and one’s art, no matter what, takes courage and discipline, which is vital to any artist’s survival. And we have plenty of examples of that in this issue, our biggest and best of the year. Cover star Miley Cyrus kicks things of with Karl Lagerfeld in a très chic shoot in the south of France—styled by the incomparable Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele and featuring an ultraglamorous custom Fendi fur one-piece and coat. In the accompanying interview, the designer and cultural phenom talk about sex in pop, blocking the haters, and their shared love of Dolly Parton. Let’s not forget that V had the good fortune of working with the multiplatinum icon in the summer of 2013, when she was just getting comfortable with her own form of rebellion (shedding her Hannah Montana persona), while fnishing up Bangerz and hanging with the likes of Pharrell Williams. More than a few people thought we were crazy to feature her back then, unaware that she was a wrecking ball about to lay waste to the status quo. Now, just over a year later, is the perfect moment to reconnect. One of music’s most provocative stars, Miley may have cultivated an outof-control aesthetic, but in reality the woman herself is exactly the opposite. We are also beyond honored to have dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei pen an exclusive essay. Widely considered one of the most impactful artists of our time, he writes

CoVer photography karl lagerfeld fashion Carlyne Cerf de dudzeele miley WeARS one-piece fendi 128 V mAGAZine

about how he perceives rebellion from his studio in Beijing. His passport inexplicably revoked by his government, he is a true testament to enduring some very difcult and unjust circumstances on behalf of his art. Ai sets off a chain reaction of rebels-nominated-by-rebels, in a section that includes cult director Gregg Araki, musician Marianne Faithfull, architect Odile Decq, James Franco riffing on James Franco, transgender actress and activist Laverne Cox, and more. The issue is peppered with courageous frontiersmen and -women from the worlds of photography and fashion: Mario Sorrenti examines the most popular crop of selfobsessed Instagram-era artists (styled by George Cortina); Hedi Slimane fnds (and photographs) the new faces of underground rock; Willy Vanderperre and stylist Katy England capture model-of-the-moment Anna Ewers in some seriously deconstructed duds; Alasdair McClellan and Marie Chaix give Lara Stone a fabulous make-under; Jaime Bochert channels a delusional dream girl in Sebastian Faena’s and Sarah Richardson’s sojourn through New York City; and FKA twigs talks to John Norris about owning adulthood, in celebration of her epically good new album, LP1 (with photos and styling by Sølve Sundsbø and Beat Bolliger). And of course the insurgence continues with the most hyped-up looks for Fall—oversize knits, must-have statement coats, and glam-rock furs and frocks. We hope this issue ignites the rebel in you. Whatever you are passionate about, do it, and do it well. The truest act of rebellion is unbridled creativity. Ms. V

ai weiwei

“freedom of expression is essential to human existence,” writes artist and activist ai weiwei in this open letter about righteousness, rebellion, and the healing power of art I think of “rebels” as those who do not ft into the society they live in or are not satisfed with their current reality, for the power structure in place or its dominant ideology conficts with their beliefs or conditions. Rebellion is a product of social injustice. It is a phenomenon of a developing civil society, in which the oppressed are aware and present. Intellectually, the rebel voice is always the most compelling argument. In 2011, I was detained for 81 days due to false accusations of tax evasion. My studio is under constant video surveillance. My passport is still held by the police, and I am unable to freely travel. All of these restrictions have given me a new perspective as to what freedom is really about and also why some might feel the need to repress it. It makes me question whether it is possible to limit freedom. These restrictions have made me understand our world in a unique way. Sometimes I almost feel glad this has happened to me. If some of us must sufer this uncomfortable situation, I would rather it be myself than another. Because I am physically restricted from travel, I have taken to social media as a means of virtual mobility. Social media has the potential to allow the unrestricted interchange of ideas necessary for positive social change. Much about social media is related to personal freedom; it is a vehicle for new ideas and communication. In the future, with the power of the Internet, I think we can avoid conflicts, because everything is open for discussion, everything can be shared, and dialogues can be facilitated. Rebellion only happens in oppressed societies where communication is blocked or filtered, where there is no public sphere. I got into art because I wanted to take a diferent path. Having a constant dissatisfaction and a critical mind, art brings me into unpredictable areas. Sometimes joy, sometimes discomfort, and even danger. However, that is what exercising freedom of expression is all about; our instincts and intellect struggle toward new experiences and possibilities. Freedom of expression is essential to human existence. Art changes our lives. It survives under the most awkward and uncomfortable situations. It elevates our collective consciousness. It enables us to cast doubts on authority and the sanctity of social conventions. I make art with the hope that it might stimulate an emotional and intellectual response within viewers. I hope my art can facilitate necessary conversations about society. I hope my art can save me from drowning in reality.

marianne faithfull this year, the artist celebrates 50 years of love, life, and rock and roll with a new album, book, and tour

There will never be another Marianne Faithfull. The English singer, songwriter, actress, and all-around cultural icon has lived one of the most mythic—and heavily mythologized—existences in the history of rock and roll, as even the almighty Courtney Love attests. “I have a deep afnity for Marianne,” says Love. “She’s like family to me and my daughter. I hear her raspy voice and I am always soothed by it, and how she is so beautiful and proud to tell the truth. Although she’s made some shitty life choices, I can relate completely. She’s got a huge heart and a massive intellect.” A legendary career such as Faithfull’s—encompassing over fve decades, with more extreme ups and downs than a million amusement parks combined—is remarkable to say the least. She has been both famous and infamous, surviving illness, addiction, a variety of marriages, and

a famous romantic dalliance with Mick Jagger. More has made in years, but also shows of her exceptional range. importantly, she has created an expansive and impossi- “The album basically came about because I broke my back ble-to-categorize body of work that covers almost every in Los Angeles,” she explains. “I had seven months on hard genre of music.

I realized that I had a lot of things that madly, and deeply lived. I still needed to say, and I hadn’t felt that way since back At the age of 67, Faithfull isn’t quite ready to hang it up when I made Broken English in ’79.” To that end, London— just yet.

If you’re in it too much and you never stop, you’re always in that world of delusion and you’re never centered or fully present. I needed to stop and chill the fuck out so I could say, Wait, stop telling me what to do. I’m running the ship. I don’t want to make a bunch of songs that are scattered and throw them onto an album just because I’m blessed with an opportunity. It’s going to be a body of work, and I’ve never had that.

“A lot of my life has been about me charting my own space for myself, creating a space for myself to survive,” says Laverne Cox. “Now I’m trying to reframe my experiences. I’m not just in survival mode anymore. I’m in a space where I can thrive.” For Cox, this is what thriving looks like: flming the third season of the Netfix hit Orange Is the New Black, writing a memoir, touring the country to speak to transgendered teens (she visited nearly 50 cities in the last year), and producing two documentaries. The frst, TransTeen, airs this fall on Logo and MTV and delves into the issues of teens who are going through their own questions about sexuality and identity. The other—entitled Free CeCe—explores similar themes to OITNB, telling the story of CeCe McDonald, a 24-year-old African-American trans woman who served 19 months of a 41-month sentence in a men’s prison in Minnesota for defending herself against a violent attacker. McDonald’s story resonates deeply with Cox, who certainly endured her own difculties while growing up fatherless in New Orleans. “I am a black transgendered woman from a working-class background, raised by a single mother,” says Cox. “There’s not any kind of template for me to have this mainstream acting career or platform to promote myself and the things I care about. It’s scary, but we’re at the forefront of a lot of new things in terms of this kind of career and having complicated discussions about gender and what it means to be a man or a woman. I think it’s about time that despite all of these systemic structures against us, someone like me is living my dreams anyway. ” Her humility, juxtaposed with her brazen self-confdence and wicked sense of humor, has made Cox an industry favorite. She has been able to bring a bit of herself to Sophia Burset, her OITNB character, and ignite a conversation about trans representation on television. (Perhaps you noticed her on the cover of Time this past May?) “I think that before Sophia, for the most part, representations of trans folks were comic relief,” says Cox. “We’ve been victims, we’ve been mostly talked about in terms of our transition and being trans, but in a lot of ways Sophia gets to be just another woman in Litchfeld, with a diferent experience and a diferent story. She is complicated and nuanced, so that we understand this is a full human being and that she’s not just one thing. I think that is major progress.” “Laverne stands up for what she believes in and does so with grace and humility,” says her costar and nominator Natasha Lyonne. “She is one of a kind: a game changer and a maverick who not only expands closed minds but educates them. She is the living embodiment of what she believes in, and the inevitable fallout of that is she inspires others to tell their own truths.” Cox’s message is rooted in an uncompromised sense of self: “As an actress, I love playing diferent characters, but it all starts with me being truthful to who I am, honoring my own truths and having a lot of conviction,” she says. “Most of us aren’t ofered spaces to do that. We’re encouraged to ft in and conform, and that just doesn’t always work for everyone. So, in a way, I think authenticity—really listening to our hard-wiring, our emotions—is the greatest rebellion of all.” WILLIAM DEFEBAuGH

all things punk. Convention just isn’t her cup of tea. As a student Decq was told that women (because they are practical) might aspire to designing kitchen cabinets, to which a multi-decade, award-winning career, touching on scales as varied as urban planning and cutlery, has answered. This year, she unveiled ofces for international corporation GL Events, in Lyon, France, a refective box that encloses a dizzying matrix of steel and glass, and appears to foat over the surrounding landscape. Here, as with other major commissions, such as the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Roma (2001–10) and the regional contemporary art center FRAC Bretagne (2005–14), Decq’s scenography sparks a sweet chill. It is feisty and brooding, at once serious and ecstatic, a lot like her taste in music. These days, she’s listening a lot to AC/DC (not at the ofce), and at a recent conference in Oslo picked up some Norwegian metal (“which unleashes so much energy”). For Decq, one interest follows another: “I am a barometer of others’ ability to accept diference,” during weekend trips to London through the late ’70s and says French architect Odile Decq. Her pronouncement ’80s, she would break onto construction sites as easily as refects something far deeper than her unmistakably smoky she slipped backstage to hang with Iggy Pop, the Ramones, eyeliner and ratty raven hair, winks to Siouxsie Sioux and and the Lords of the New Church.

Not surprisingly, then, Decq maintains a vibrant, independent eye both on culture and on her profession, which she scolds for being sexist and reactionary even now. “I am always where the energy is. I never look back,” she explains. In collaboration with her husband, Benoît Cornette, until his untimely death in 1998, and, since then, practicing independently, Decq has always lunged headlong into the future. Her latest project is an architectural institute, dubbed Confuence, to open its doors this fall, in Lyon, an attempt to adapt architectural education to global realities in ways informed by social media, neuroscience, community organization, and Decq’s fve years as the executive director of a leading Parisian school. “What will students today fnd for work? They have to know that they can collaborate with communities all over the world. Architecture has to be engaged,” says Decq. This project, like the others, is not a matter of choice. For Decq, the heart is a battlefeld. “The interest for me lies in killing myself at it, to do or die trying.” Pierre AlexAndre de looz ConfluenCe opens in a temporary spaCe on september 29

This is no cauTionary Tale. and emily danger is no diva. buT be forewarned, The opera-Trained indie musician’s honed howl is going To blow your mind photography inez & vinoodh 154 V MAGAZINE

A musical theater major from Bakersfeld, California, Emily Danger (aka Emily Nicholas) came to New York with aspirations of becoming an opera singer. But the extensive classical training at Manhattan School of Music, for her master’s degree, eventually took its toll. “I just kind of fell out of love with it,” says Danger. “It’s a very specifc and controlling art form. There’s not a lot of room for personal artistry.” The saving grace was that while in her fnal year she started writing her own music. It was the dawn of a new aria. Danger took all of her musical know-how and applied it to her frst cabaret show, at The Duplex, in New York’s Greenwich Village, during which she performed “a bunch of oddball covers, like Tom Waits and Radiohead.” The well-received run reenergized the now front woman, who was prompted to form a band with instrumentalist Cameron Orr. (Her husband, John Patrick Wells, is the visual director who has shot all three of their colorfully elaborate videos.) Fast-forward nearly three years, and Danger’s namesake group is playing their brand of Queen-meets-Heart psychedelic art rock all around the country, on behalf of their second EP, Peace Arch.

They recorded the album over three months at Brooklyn’s Room 17 studios. “Peace Arch is four songs, and then we’re releasing another EP, War Torn, in October,” says Danger, whose voice, most impressively, can cover four octaves. Writing the lyrics for both releases (as she does with all her tracks) has proven to be cathartic for the singer, who gets fred up by social injustice issues, such as not legalizing gay marriage and the SCOTUS Hobby Lobby ruling. “I think I wrote six songs about that,” she says of the latter. “I was just like, ‘Are you kidding me right now?’ This is the only way I can fght back at this point. You know? It fuels your fre as a female.” Her passionate stance has attracted a loyal following. Among them, regular V contributors Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. “Emily was always on our radar as this very cute friend of friends who studied to be an opera singer,” says Van Lamsweerde. “When she was available to teach our son, Charles, how to play the piano, we got to know her better, and were fascinated by her ideas to move with all her opera training into rock. We are stunned by what has grown out of these two

opposites. The EP album covers [seen here] had to have the mixture of both theater and rock that lies at the heart of Emily, and of course show off her cute Twiggy-like face in all its expressiveness.” The emotion really unfurls onstage, when the front woman transforms into her Danger-ous persona, which entails a Björk-like approach to fashion. “It’s nice to shape-shift into someone else and wear like a ton of weird eye makeup and a Snuggie,” she says. “Kind of David Bowie meets Antony Hegarty.” With her native ability and wholehearted 360 approach, Danger is in no risk of fading from the spotlight anytime soon. sarah cristobal

creative supernova james franco sounds off on what rebellion means to him and how not giving a fuck is sexy TEXT AND ARTWORK BY JAMES FRANCO Rebel, rebel, rebel. There is a way to be, and then there is a way to be boring. 156 V MAGAZINE

When I think of “rebel,” I think of James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause. But then I think of all the lazy journalists who have used James Dean to identify or denigrate some new up-and-coming actor (I should know, I was one of them), and I see that the image of Dean has been tarnished.

I think of Dean shooting through his windshield with the force of his Porsche Spyder, racing down the dusty road to Salinas, right before impact with old Donald Turnupseed’s sizable coupe. “He’s got to see us,” said Dean to his passenger, Rolf Wütherich, his mechanic, right before impact—and POW. Dean’s ghost never stopped, launched from that moment, and shot through every generation after. It shot through the outlaw antics of Dennis Hopper—“Motorcycles man, I got that from Dean, man.” Shot through the slouchy insouciant pose and attitude of Bobby Dylan. Shot through the jazzy heroin rhythms of Chet Baker. Shot through the fuck-you punch to the art world of cigarette-smoking Jackson Pollock— he crashed too, didn’t he?

because it spells their doom. The digital writing is on the wall, and it’s decried in the old-fashioned writing of ink on glossy pages and newsprint. I hate a selfe as much as anyone. But I love a selfe more than anyone. Know why? Because it’s mine. And yours is yours. It is taken in that special place between self and mirror. If it’s a true selfe it is held by the subject, so that the arm is circling out in front of the person and the camera is just an extension of the self. Like an octopus with eyes at the end of its arms looking back at itself. Group, group, group. We all live in a group. The citadels are crumbling. New ways of standing above will be developed, eventually, but for now the old ways are crumbling. The rebels of a new generation where everything can be stolen and reposted? Those that steal and collage and repost in the most interesting ways.

The Bling Ringers, those teens who stole all that shit from Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, they are the punk rockers of today. Of course they’re douche bags, and of course we don’t like them, but who liked punks back in the day? They were the outsiders: the smelly and the ugly. Not the punks appropriated by children’s television today, softened by MTV, but the ugly shits who shot up heroin mixed with toilet water. They weren’t cool, but they were rebels.

The Bling Ringers are pretty, but they’re criminals. They’re MTV on the surface, and Sid Vicious underneath. Richard Ramirez, the “Night Stalker,” who would break into people’s homes and kill them, no matter how old, started as a burglar. He would break into houses to steal items for drugs. Later he started killing the people inside.

Ramirez says: Hail Satan. The Bling Ringers say: Hail Fame. I say: Hail myself that is Satan within this frestorm of Fame. Rebellion involves violence. A killing. Not a literal killing, but a killing of something that came before.

Sometimes the something is preserved, but it must always be beholden to what chipped away at it, they become fused. Frank Bidart: There is a cost to being someone who commits violence. The violence is inevitably a violence against the self as well. I don’t mean it’s not better than not committing violence. The violence is necessary. But there’s a back taste that rises from the stomach to the mouth. Hard always to hold onto the vision that generated the rebellion.

And sometimes one just feels dumb, stupid. Look, I’ll show you what I really look like. I’ll shave my head. Me on Letterman, talking about the ugly shirtless selfe I posted: It’s like that Britney Spears shaved-head moment, where it’s sort of like, “All right, you want me? Here, you can have me, but I am going to be really ugly.” You know what I mean? ...It’s a little bit of self-hatred, but it’s not hatred of the self, it’s hatred of the public self.

Sometimes violence is more tolerable when it is cloaked in comedy. You can kill people with no repercussions as long as they’re laughing. Shot through siren of the streets Jean-Michel Basquiat. Shot through the blue jeans of working-class hero Bruce Springsteen. Shot through the art flms of Kenneth Anger, like Scorpio Rising. Dean lives, hail Satan. Shot through the vampire teen phenomenon of Robert Pattinson, and even more so his hard-core ex, Kristen Stewart, a brooding Dean if I ever saw one. Shot through Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady out on the road. Shot through Terrence Malick—“I’ll kiss your ass if he don’t look like James Dean.” The ghost, it shot through and inhabited, and the Dean infuence grew like a phantom.

That’s the problem with idols, they become communal, and the lame and boring take them for their own purposes. How can you be dangerous in the age when MTV appropriates all youth rebellion and commercializes it? Of course there is still rebellious stuf on MTV, but it is all framed by the network. Social networking is a fresh road of access. It’s scary to magazines and newspapers

Today there are two types of rebels: those that fght the system outright and those that walk the line between acceptance of the system and destruction of the system. If you’re on the inside (I’m on the inside of the Hollywood system), you can work your rebellion into your work without seeming to rebel. This is my kind of rebellion. Oz and Spring Breakers out at the same time. And Interior. Leather Bar. Out at the same time too. Real gay sex. Milk and Pineapple Express out in the same year. A movie about the end of the world, a book of poems about movies, a book of fction about performance, photographs about movies.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. At the same time as: I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.

chloe chaidez a new, dance-worthy album dripping with synth-filled sound proves the 19-year-old star of Kitten was truly born to rocK

“There was never a question,” asserts Chloe Chaidez, the brazen front woman of L.A.-based shoegaze–glam rock band Kitten. “I was like, I’m gonna be a fucking rock star. As fippant as that sounds.” The precocious L.A. teen is talking about her early, hesitation-free rock-and-roll beginnings. “I’ve always been surrounded by music and I feel like—I don’t know if I ever had natural talent, but I made myself play,” she says. Chaidez grew up in a creative household—dad was a member of seminal underground ’70s punk band Thee Undertakers, while mom was a writer—and she immersed herself in her father’s music catalog, chock-full of New Order, the Eurythmics, and Bowie, as he drove her the two hours back and forth from gymnastics every day. At age 10, when most girls are asking for Barbies, she requested a bass, and started writing her own songs later that year. It was the music (“Those artists really spoke to me”) and the lure of the lifestyle (“I mean, it’s fun—we have no responsibility other than showing up and playing”) that helped propel Chaidez to fulflling her rock-and-roll fantasy. Kitten brings together elements of Chaidez’s eclectic ’80s-focused sonic education. The band recently released a self-titled debut: a mix of pop seduction (the hook on “Sensible”); New Wave cheese appeal (the heavy synth of “Doubt,” the Princereminiscent “Sex Drive”); and glassy emo-infused haze (“Why I Wait”). “Writing is an organic process,” says Chaidez. “I usually make a track, then whatever words spill out of me become the lyrics—I look at it afterward and it’s like, I never thought I felt that way. But I try not to over-calculate.” Performing is intuitive as well. The band opened for Garbage and Charli XCX, and headlined its own tour this past summer. “I don’t get nervous,” says Chaidez. “I just feel alone up there—whether we’re playing for 10 or 10,000—and I don’t know why, but it really allows me to do whatever I feel in that moment. People call us an indie band, but I want to be huge.” Ashley simpson

The Juilliard alum reuniTes wiTh besTie Jessica chasTain in This monTh’s The disappearance of eleanor rigby You’ll remember Jess Weixler as the horrifying girl with the man-eating vagina in the 2007 Sundance stunner Teeth. Dubbed “The Indie Girl to Watch” before she even got a grip on the industry, Weixler is now getting back to her roots by teaming up with her Juilliard scene partner and good friend, Jessica Chastain, in their forthcoming movie, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them. “We were oddly put in every single play together, and often opposite each other,” says the Kentucky native, recalling the time she played the mother to Chastain’s Juliet. “We haven’t worked together since, and now we get to play sisters, which is much like our own relationship—we have a sisterly bond.” The flm’s director, Ned Benson, wrote the script with this particular casting—including the Scottish actor James McAvoy—in mind. The trio all lived together under one roof while Benson wrote and asked them questions. “He did write these roles for us, because I think he witnessed our friendship and wanted something that felt like that in the movie as well,” says Weixler. A heartbreaking love story originally told in two parts, from the perspective of both Him and Her, Rigby was later edited down to one cohesive flm, as told by Them, “for those who don’t love to binge watch, I guess,” jokes the 33-year-old Santa Monica transplant. “I hope it opens up the doors to more experimental subjects.” Another of her art-house flms, also out this fall, is Alex Ross Perry’s Listen Up Philip, about a writer (Jason Schwartzman) who, in the midst of experiencing fame for the frst time, pushes away all of his friends, mainly girls, played by Weixler, Elisabeth Moss, Dree Hemingway, and Josephine de La Baume. “I am surrounded by people who are so good and really inspire me,” says the humble actress, who took a star turn on Silda Spitzer-esque drama The Good Wife as well. “I think that anybody starting out feels terrifed. That that never goes away is possibly one of your greatest assets, it means that you are going to take chances and push yourself, which is a good sign.

a professional dancer whose sleek moves caught the eye of madonna and michael Jackson, this exotic beauty is finally getting her own spotlight in hollywood

You’ve probably never heard of the Algeria-born, Parisbred actress Sofa Boutella, but you’ve most certainly seen her dance. The 32-year-old trained ballerina and Olympic-level rhythmic gymnast frst shimmied onto the world stage in commercials for Nike (with whom she still collaborates). Soon after, Madonna took notice and invited her to be a backup dancer on her “Confessions” and “Sticky and Sweet” tours, in the video for “Hung Up,” and her 2012 Super Bowl spectacular. “She challenges the people she works with,” says Boutella of her mentor and V89 cover star. “She asked me if I had ever danced in heels before, and when I said no, she gave me a pair that were hers and said, ‘There is a beginning for everything.’” These days Boutella— who studied acting as well, at Stella Adler—is kicking ass in strappy stilettos on the silver screen, in Matthew Vaughn’s forthcoming British action fick, Kingsman: The Secret Service. About a thug turned secret agent, played by newcomer Taron Edgerton, the flm costars heavyweights Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sir Michael Caine, while Boutella plays a double amputee on carbon fber running blades who also happens to be a killing machine. “I told the stylist [Arianne Phillips] that I really wanted to wear the thinnest, highest heels she could fnd, because I needed to feel how my character would feel walking on a very tiny surface.” With two independent flms on the horizon, warthemed Monsters: Dark Continent as well as Jet Trash, the story of two lost girls who attract trouble in India, Boutella’s crossover appeal clearly has staying power. “I truly believe the discipline I have honed as a dancer will bring me more opportunities as an actor,” she says. “When I was dancing, whether it was the music or the story, the question was Why am I doing this piece, and why am I dancing? It is exactly the same when you are acting. You have a very close relationship with your body movement. You have to fnd the physicality of your character.” Surely, the Material Girl wouldn’t disagree.

Marc Jacobs’s Fall makeup collection is a far cry from the stark tonality that took over the runway of his namesake fashion line last February. Bleached-out brows, über-pale faces painted in a neutral palette, and subdued monochromatic wigs might have been all the rage back then, but the word “pop” was the starting point for his current line of prettifers. “He loves the word,” says Catherine Gore, manager of Marc Jacobs Beauty, “and also taking the idea of pop throughout every sense of the product experience, from the bright, saturated pop of color in the formulas, to the pop of color at the tip of each chrome exterior, and even the way they’re opened, with a pop

For decades, some of the world’s most fashionable women, including Ingrid Bergman and Cate Blanchett, have turned to Max Mara in search of simple elegance. The Italian label’s newest collection of classics, the Tailored Suit Project, ofers up just that. It’s a small ofering that includes 10 jackets, nine pants, and only one skirt—made up of luxe, versatile staples that run from $535 for a custom underpinning to over $4,000 for an overcoat. “We wanted to reach the highest level of excellence of the Italian tailoring tradition and to give today’s women the possibility to choose an outft that can be worn elegantly and comfortably together,” said Laura Lusardi, the label’s fashion director.

The jackets, ofered in four diferent styles, are the core of the collection, with each one taking 345 minutes (twice as long as a standard jacket) to make. “We built and designed masculine-inspired jackets around the woman’s body,” said Lusardi. “Jackets are much easier to wear and adapt to your own style and situation, without compromising your femininity.” Pair one with a trouser from the collection and you’re set for modern-day power dressing.

Founded in 1976, heritage brand Pedro del Hierro Madrid aims to revitalize its luxury collection in 2014 with fresh eyes at the helm. The Fall/Winter collection is the frst under creative director Carmen March, who is seeking to align the rebirth of the brand with Spain’s emergence from years of economic crisis. Largely comprising structured coats and neutral tweeds, the collection is sprinkled with optimism in the form of brilliant pops of lavender, teal, and canary yellow. “This project is very exciting for me,” says March. “It has a lot to do with taking a piece of our history and culture and showing it to the world. This collection is a frst step in that direction.” IAN DAVID MONROE

She’s fun and smart. You like her.” He’s right, we do. Editors have been clamoring to shoot the collection since its launch in February.

“i think it’s kind of funny to mess with people and rile them up, because i’m actually the most chill person and it’s just funny to watch the world get out of their minds over things that are so irrelevant and don’t matter.” —miley cyrus Karl Lagerfeld Your body is youth incarnate. I think, in fact, you are a very decent girl and well educated, you just like to provoke. What is more fun than to shock the bourgeois anyway? Miley Cyrus I’m pretty lighthearted. I was happy to hear you say that, because I know that I’m not a pop pop dumb dumb. I know that I’m not. I’m a lot more than someone who just goes and shakes her ass onstage. If you ever listen to me speak, or watch me at more than just a VMA performance or video or anything like that…when you actually hear me outside of that character, there’s a totally diferent side of me. You know, people are so afraid of sexuality and the way I do it, but I’m just joking in most ways, and in a kind of pop sense exploring what being sexual means. I don’t feel like I’m giving of the sex vibe. I’m not trying to be sexy, especially in that male-dominated-world kind of way. It’s kind of just about being free. I think freedom is sexy. I think it’s really fun to shock people the other way. Even a lot of people on my Instagram…I’ve been posting the art that I’ve been making for Jeremy Scott’s upcoming fashion show [where I am designing pieces for the set], and they don’t know what it’s for. So when I put it up, they say, “You’re an idiot, that’s the worst thing,” and blah blah blah. Those aren’t the kind of people you want to have around you as friends and fans. I don’t want to have too many negative people, not even in my fan base. I am a real believer in moojoo-goojoo vibes and people not sending bad vibes your way. In my life, no matter what the media tries to make it seem, my real life is so happy and so peaceful that those angry comments don’t really ever afect me. I’m just so happy in my life and those people make me kind of sad because there’s just so much anger. You can’t even read the good comments on what your fans are trying to say because they’re so polluted by the dumb people that just want to be angry and anonymously abusive. KL To me, you’re never going to be vulgar. Who inspired you to behave this way? Is there an infuence? MC There wasn’t really ever an infuence. You know, I grew up around Dolly Parton a lot. She actually has a song, called “Backwoods Barbie,” where she sings, “Don’t let these false eyelashes lead you to believe that / I’m as shallow as I look ’cause I run true and deep.” It’s part of what makes her Dolly. I think you can put Dolly Parton and Barbie in the same category of iconic female perfection, in a weird way. She’s like my fairy godmother, but to the world she’s the only country artist that looks like fucking Pamela Anderson. But even when she was younger she had the tits and she had the body, but her voice and what she was saying…She’s so deep and has done so much for the world, and that was always a constant reminder to me of don’t listen to what people think just looking at you or judging you. She is someone that is obviously one of the most intelligent people. She’s almost 70 and you mention Dolly Parton to anyone, even a 10-yearold, and they know who she is. I go play songs by the Beatles and people look at me like “Huh? I’ve never heard this song before in my life.” I play “Jolene” and everybody sings along. My true core fans, they’ve stayed with me from the beginning, and that’s Dolly, too. She has fans that just love her and they’re so loyal. It’s worth the abuse to have these core fans that just love you and respect you for not changing who you are. KL If you didn’t play the part of a scandalous girl, would you have the success that you have had today? MC I know this sounds whack, but I don’t think I would be a household name if things like the VMAs or the Annie Leibovitz cover for Vanity Fair when I was 15 didn’t happen. I truly think that was part of the reason I was discussed in every house, because it was almost like, “Okay, are we gonna let them watch this stuf? Are we going to let them buy her music? Oh God, what are we going to do?” Even when I was on Hannah Montana, shit was coming out all of the time. So it wasn’t like all of a sudden I left Disney and became a wild child. It’s like, Did you guys forget about the 15 scandals that happened when I was on Disney? I was never pretending to be something else. My parents taught me to have a really good work ethic. So when I was there, I was on the company’s time, I didn’t get fucked up. Every day that I went to set I’m sure people thought I was a fucking mess, but every day that I went to set I was so focused. There’s no way I could be fucked up and do that Bangerz tour. It’s insane. I’m obviously not that far-out. KL Do you want to show the world that you’ve grown up, to forget that you were once a child star? MC I’ve never felt the need to break away, because it just happened naturally. I didn’t think, Let’s make this transition. I just started doing it, and it kind of happened. I never felt like I needed to prove anything. I just felt like I needed to prove it to myself. Even in ways of, you know, there’s good parts and there’s bad parts. With the VMAs, people take it and they turn it, but that was just me showing how I was growing and maturing, and then I think doing things with Jeremy Scott, that’s a whole other way. KL Is that going to be announced beforehand? MC I think they’re going to have to announce it a few days before, because I’m going to have to be there a few days before to set everything up. So I’m sure people will start talking. It’ll be good for me because it’s just something I need to do. One day I even tweeted, “Dude I gotta start reading again because I just feel like I’m a pop pop dumb

dumb.” I cannot be that. When someone asks me what I do, the depth of it cannot stop at I’m a popstar. That cannot be all I am at the end of my life. So I was like, “What do I want to be?” I’m an artist to the core. I used to paint as a kid and had all these paints in my garage. It started as a therapy with shit that happened with my dog and stuf that’s going on. It’s a time to sit outside with a blank piece of paper and make something beautiful. That’s honestly something I think Jeremy does a lot. He’s someone that I think is the perfect combo of kitschy and couture in a way, and what he does with that kind of kitschy-ness is something I’m inspired by. I have a dress he made me that’s literally a sack of Cheetos and I love it. He never takes it too serious. And Carlyne too. When I did my frst shoot with V, that’s something that I learned from her. I was like, Fashion can be so much fun! She’ll put me in socks that are Trash and Vaudeville or Pat Fields, but then with this fur Fendi bathing suit. I started to get it a little bit. I think that shows a lot in my life. KL Is it easier to be a grown-up singer who provokes than it is to be a child star? MC I defnitely don’t think it’s easier. I think it’s hard, and I don’t think that because sex sells you’ll sell a million albums. You’ve gotta have more than that. It’s defnitely easy to make a splash being a woman, and if you throw sex in there, it all of a sudden becomes a headline. But I always use the example of Elvis. Elvis was the one who brought sex into the culture anyway. It should really be equal, but I think as a woman it’s easier to make news if you’re using sex within your content, but it doesn’t necessarily make it easier. You go to an awards show and the only thing that gets picked up is what a girl does and wears anyways. It doesn’t matter what it is, even if it’s the Grammys. You’re not going to fip through a tabloid magazine and see Josh Groban at the piano. You’re gonna see what Katy wore and what Rihanna didn’t wear. Or what I did or didn’t do. It’s all that. KL Could you have imagined when you were a kid that you would end up this way? If only you had known about this kind of thing! MC Timing is everything. I think it can only be this way now because of my age. I feel like I did my time on the show of giving my fans what they wanted. I didn’t get wild and not fnish my show. I paid my dues, doing what I didn’t necessarily want to do and love. So now I spend all of my time doing only what I want to do and love. Nothing else. I was in an industry that made a lot of money and now what I do is spend all that I make back into my show. It drives my team crazy. We’re about to go to South America, and I’m kind of a diferent person than I was on the frst leg of the Bangerz tour, so I had to change a lot of it. I’m in a totally diferent zone. I’m 21. I change drastically every two fucking months. It’s been a year since we made this. I have to change some of it. Having money in my bank account isn’t worth it to me. I want to know that instead of having money just sitting there—I want to just look at it. I want my fans to see it. I want to entertain them and have them enjoy it. Everything we make is so well made. We have so many amazing artists that work on it, like John Kricfalusi from The Ren & Stimpy Show. You know we actually have you in one of the pieces in one of the songs! In “My Darlin” there’s a big Karl! I don’t feel like a pop artist, because I don’t really live that way. I think you can see a lot of that from my Instagram. Those faces I’m making, I’m joking, but people are like, “Oh my God, she’s so high she’s gonna die.” I’m just making that face. I think it’s kind of funny to mess with people and rile them up, because I’m actually the most chill person and it’s funny to watch the world get out of their minds over things that are so irrelevant and don’t matter. What I care about is being happy and being myself more than making money. And my true fans really know that. They can see it in my show. KL Chanel and I are very happy to see you wearing the brand. You’re one of the few that buys the stuf…what are your favorite cities for shopping? MC I love this question. I’m a little bit of a hoarder and I collect a lot of things, like food clocks, like funny, big, giant clown sunglasses, piggy banks. Chanel is really just a part of that collection, and it just happens to have more value in that way. I actually just love my stuf because it’s a part of my collection and the value of things don’t really matter to me. I love my Chanel as much as I love my piggy banks. I just happen to be able to wear the Chanel stuf, which makes it great, because you can actually keep it forever. KL Where do you put all of this? MC I have a place in my room where all my Chanel is together. I’m also extremely obsessive-compulsive, so my entire closet is alphabetized by designer, because I’m really OCD. It’s gnarly. That’s how I know my stuff. I don’t go, Oh, my gray jacket! It’s insanely organized within each designer. And my shelves…I’ll actually send you a picture. It’s kind of funny. They’re just covered in piggy banks and giant sunglasses. Plus my gifts from fans. I love it because they’re such treasurable things. I make things, and the fact that my fans made these for me, I know how much time it takes. I know how excited you are to give what you make to the person you made it for. I can’t throw it away. KL That’s sweet. In a hypocritical world like ours, girls like you are very rare!

As a young woman, the mid-20s are a strange time, and wiser, a girl who’s been through it all. When Kanda frst showed her the cover, twigs because you get to 21 and kind of think that you’re a woman. And then you get to 24 and says, “I was completely taken aback. It just made me so emotional, because it showed you suddenly realize you have no clue. At least for me anyway, I felt like a young girl me that all those weeks I’d been explaining to him how I felt, even though he was so trapped in a woman’s body. Getting signed and having that responsibility changed my quiet, he’d been listening the whole time. I felt like I’d been smacked in the face, and life dramatically…I think 24 to 26 was kind of my transition into becoming a grown-up, in his picture I have this mark on my face, but it makes me more beautiful.” and a lot of that refects in the music as well.” There’s no denying that the part-Jamaican, part-Spanish twigs has become a fashtwigs is referring to LP1, her superb debut album, released in August, on which ion favorite, one of the more exotic and adventurous young style icons to emerge since the Gloucestershire native, known for her outré style, sings with real confdence for Björk. Red lips, septum ring, and Josephine Baker spit curls are frequently part of her the frst time. Her frst two releases—2012’s EP1 (a collaboration with Young Turks’ look, but from there she can go in wildly diferent directions. In photo shoots we’ve Tic Zogson) and 2013’s EP2 (created with Venezuelan New Yorker Alejandro “Arca” seen her work neo–Diana Ross and latter-day Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes (the sort of comGhersi)—were spellbinding and quietly seductive, but they were records more inter- parisons she probably loathes, by the way), as well as alabaster skin and a distended ested in creating an atmosphere through muted vocals than in showcasing the artist’s neck, like on her EP2 cover. And while she doesn’t shy away from a connection to the self-assurance. “I was very timid at frst,” twigs recalls, “and I would sing into the mic fashion world—she soundtracked a show for her friends Ben Cottrell and Matt Dainty really quietly. I would have to face away from people! And now it’s only two years on, of the London menswear line Cottweiler this past summer—she insists that she and but I feel a lot more confdent, and from a place deep inside myself I have a bit more her manager always bring it back to the music. “Whenever I get ofered an opportunity, belief in what I am doing.” even if it’s really good—like a couple of big brands have approached me and asked me The album features twigs’s strongest melodies to date, with hook lines that burrow into to do modeling for them, and obviously it’s exciting—we always say, What is the justifthe brain, including the memorable “Lights On” (“When I trust you / we can do it with cation for this? What is it saying about the music? That is the factor on which we base the lights on”), which despite how it sounds has less to do with sex, she says, than with absolutely everything. It’s like, Is the music leading this decision?” opening yourself up to another. She had plenty of top-fight writing and production help: On the music-video front, twigs has amassed quite a portfolio for a young artist only Adele’s right-hand man Paul Epworth (who cowrote the soaring standout “Pendulum”); two years into a career: 10 stunners, from provocative phallic-fower-in-naked-crotch U.K. electro hotshot Sampha (a nominee, along with twigs for the BBC’s lauded “Sound of debut, “Hide,” to her latest, the Nabil-directed “Two Weeks,” in which she’s a Nubian 2014” prize); Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes; Michael Volpe (aka Clams Casino); and Emile queen surrounded by miniature gyrating dancers in a resplendent setting reminiscient Haynie (whose four tracks include the steamy single “Two Weeks” and whose CV includes of the Temple of Dendur. Might we see a video for every track from LP1? twigs isn’t so Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die). But there is a remarkable consistency to LP1, which, twigs sure. “For me, when I do something, once that thing starts catching on, I’m over it,” she says, was the point. “Working with so many diferent people, it meant that I had to really explains. “I’m like, Okay, next! I mean, I would like to do as many visuals as I can, but focus on my own vision and my own stamp,” she explains. “I’m always determined to there are other things now that I’m excited about that I feel are my babies, and I want do something that really feels like me, and I don’t want to copy anyone or have anyone to work on them secretly, and when they come out, it will be like, Ta-da! Maybe like a be able to compare me to anyone.” She’s also keen to point out that she self-produced new thing that no one’s ever thought of, you know?” Besides, she says, all those videos a majority of the album, and played on most of it, challenging herself to learn (with the take time. “I’ll sit there and I’ll edit a video with someone until like four o’clock in the assistance of longtime friend and band mate Cy An) to create music on Ableton and the morning. I’m really involved in every single bit.” drum machine Tempest, which she’s been folding into her band’s live shows. There she goes again, reminding us that she is not on the sidelines of anything she twigs seems to have something to prove this time around. After all, a good amount does. Only four years ago, twigs was one of those back-up dancers, playing a marionette of the media attention given to her frst two EPs went to her male partners—particu- on strings in electropop gal Jessie J’s “Price Tag” video. She is no one’s puppet today, but larly Arca—thanks to his being a hot name after his work on Kanye’s Yeezus. Even in she’s also quick to point out that she’s not the “control freak” that she’s been described the studio, twigs was on the receiving end of some snarky comments that cast doubt on as being in the press. “This whole control-freak thing, I think it’s so silly. Really, I think her abilities. “When I’m at the computer, I’m like a little mole staring up at the screen. people are intimidated, or need to be neggy about something.” Challenging herself, And people will walk in and be like, ‘Oh, check you out, using the computer!’ They don’t she adds, has less to do with control than with making the most of her moment—and mean it in a harmful way. But if I was a boy they wouldn’t say that.” While she’s not twigs is indisputably enjoying a moment. “I’m just taking what I do seriously, and I naming names, she later vents, “Some people, they want to keep you in your place. They try really hard, because I don’t know how long it’s gonna last. Not because maybe it want you to do well, but only on their terms. And as soon as you start going beyond that, will get taken away from me, but I don’t know, maybe I will just decide I want to have they just like to kick you back down, so you stay exactly where they want you to be.” a baby in two years. Or I might decide I want to go set up a youth club and spend time Intentional or not, the condescension hurt. But she had a confdante at the time, doing that, or start a dancing school for kids. I just want to work really hard while I’ve particularly toward the end of making the album: Jesse Kanda—the visual artist and got this opportunity.” 238 V MAGAZINE

PERFECT PUSSY

Hometown: Syracuse, NY Members: Meredith Graves (vocals) [above]; Ray McAndrew (guitar), Garrett Koloski (drums), Shaun Sutkus (electronics), and Greg Ambler (bass) How long have you been making music together? A little over a year. How did you come up with your name? We needed a name that refected our themes of transcendence, self-acceptance, confdence, and grace, but we also wanted it to be funny and rude. Describe your sound. Short ecstatic bursts of noise. What’s the craziest show you’ve ever played? In Toronto, for NXNE. We blew up a bass head before we started playing, and after three songs we blew a second. The staf tried to unplug us and get us ofstage, so Shaun made a bunch of screeching, hateful feedback while I chanted and rolled around on the ground. Greg had been playing a guitar with four baritone strings instead of a bass, and he smashed it to pieces. Some boys were shouting that we sucked, and the next day people were suggesting I’d had a nervous breakdown. It was probably the best show we ever played.

What do you listen to on the road? Lately it’s been Speedy Ortiz and Chick Corea’s soundtrack to the book Battlefeld Earth. What is your favorite venue? 285 Kent [in Williamsburg, Brooklyn]. R.I.P. If you could book your dream bill, who would you play with? I would organize a weekend slumber party festival with all my friends’ bands and we’d just play for each other and eat pizza. Finish this sentence: “The music industry needs more…” people who are willing to call out male journalists who use social media to harass female musicians and writers. Finish this sentence: “Rock and roll is…” boring. Most bands sound the same. Tell us your favorite lyric from your own music. “I’m at best a step removed from what’s considered natural / I’m at worst disinterested in what’s considered lovable / Love is love, but power is power” [from “Advance Upon the Real”] perfect pussy is on tour in europe and the u.k. this fall

with american rock radio bought and paid for by major labels and music television long extinct, the best bands in the u.s. are flourishing under the radar—but that doesn’t mean they deserve to be ignored. as pop embraces hip-hop and e.d.m., the most defiant action an artist can take is to pick up a guitar. there’s a new punk spirit rising. meet the dreamers and screamers bringing big, bad sounds back to life photography hedi slimane V MAGAZINE 283

DONOVAN BLANC

Hometown: Highland Park, NJ Members [below, from left]: Raymond Schwab (keyboard and bass) and Joseph Fekete (vocals and guitar) How long have you been making music together? About three years. How did you come up with your name? It just came to us one day after a long soak in a hot tub. Describe your sound. Soft but frm, like a good custard. What’s the craziest show you’ve ever played? In college, I played in a lot of bars, because they were the only places that actually paid acts. One night during the winter at a bar in a beach town where only the most depraved of townies hung out, a fght erupted when a guy walked in and saw his wife or girlfriend with someone else. There were only about 10 or so people there that night, and all of them started throwing punches and glasses. What do you listen to on the road? Harold Budd. What is your favorite venue? It was Maxwell’s, in Hoboken, but unfortunately it closed last year. It was a great room to play, and I’ve got many fond memories of seeing some of my favorite artists there. It is sorely missed. If you could book your dream bill, who would you play with? Arnaldo Baptista and Françoise Hardy. Finish this sentence: “The music industry needs more…” buzzwords and quickly evaporating trends. Finish this sentence: “Rock and roll is…” for lawyers and Eric Clapton. Tell us your favorite lyric from your own music. “When you believed me, how did you see me?” [from “When You Believed Me”] donovan blanc is on tour in north america this fall

REGAL DEGAL

Hometown: New York, NY Members [above, from left]: Jamen Whitelock (drums and drum machine), Josh da Costa (guitar and vocals), and Josiah Wolfson (bass) How long have you been making music together? Five years. How did you come up with your name? Based on an imaginary sound system conceived by someone who likes the idea of dub/reggae but has never actually heard it. Describe your sound. Loose Syd Dream. What’s the craziest show you’ve ever played? We played a huge Halloween party at a four-story warehouse in Baltimore a couple of years ago. Some guy tried to instigate a fght with a hammer he brought from home. He put it down for a second and I made sure to promptly hide it under the stage. I don’t think he found it. What do you listen to on the road? Lots of mixes and Robert Evans’s The Kid Stays in the Picture audiobook.

What is your favorite venue? Botanique in Brussels. Maybe one day we’ll play there. If you could book your dream bill, who would you play with? Panda Bear, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Grafti, and Amon Düül II, circa 1973, with Ron Hardy deejaying between sets and at the after-party. Finish this sentence: “Rock and roll is…” was easy, but now it’s clean and heavy. Tell us your favorite lyric from your own music. “Clean up your act / have a good time / shape up and I’ll see you in my dreams,” from “Not Mired,” the frst song on our last album. It’s the only lyric I feel comfortable highlighting, because I lifted it verbatim from Dennis Hopper in a certain movie that shall not be named for the sake of retaining some element of mystery.

NOTHING

Hometown: Philadelphia, PA Members [above, from left]: Nick Bassett (bass), Kyle Kimball (percussion), Domenic Palermo (guitar and vocals), and Brandon Setta (lead guitar and vocals) How long have you been making music together? About a year now. How did you come up with your name? Reading Céline in an empty bathtub high on pills. Describe your sound. A messy room in a nice home in a shit ghetto. What’s the craziest show you’ve ever played? It was our last show at 285 Kent. I tried throwing my guitar, but I was caught in the cable. It rubber-banded and came back at me, striking me on my forehead and opening me up. No one had any bandages, so I used vodka, paper towels, and duct tape. They were also nice enough to give me a bottle of Evan Williams that I drank the whole way back on the turnpike home.

What do you listen to on the road? Each other crying. What is your favorite venue? Bottle Tree, in Birmingham, and Boot & Saddle, in Philadelphia. If you could book your dream bill, who would you play with? Let’s just do a whole tour with prime Oasis. Finish this sentence: “The music industry needs more…” David Bowies. Finish this sentence: “Rock and roll is…” in a casket in Brooklyn, lying down next to Lou Reed. Tell us your favorite lyric from your own music. “No help for us / There’s no safe haven / Search for a place / You can’t be saved in” [from “Rites of Love and Death”] nothing is releasing a split 7-inch with whirr this october on run for cover records

APPETITE

Hometown: Brooklyn, NY Members [below, from left]: Jane Chardiet (vocals, synthesizer, and various efect pedals) and Ciarra Black (drum machine, sampler, and various synthesizers) How long have you been making music together? Three years. How did you come up with your name? We chose the word “appetite” because of its multiple levels of meaning: physical hunger, the desire for something more, something you can lose or gain beyond your own will, something you can’t control. For us, the word appetite is synonymous with why we have to make music. Describe your sound. Both of our sensibilities put into a blender. A mix of noise, industrial, experimental, and techno. What’s the craziest show you’ve ever played? Our second show ever was at a twoday noise festival in North Carolina called Savage Weekend. We saw everything from a perverted clown to people cutting themselves with broken mirrors to an abandoned meth village to public golden showers in sports-themed hotel rooms to a recent divorcée in a wedding dress setting of freworks inside one of the venues to someone inserting a contact microphone in his anus. All of that and more. It was a savage weekend indeed. What is your favorite venue? It’s illegally run in a residential loft, so we can’t mention it by name. It’s long been a staple in the underground punk and noise scenes, and we have seen some of the best shows of our lives in that building. If you could book your dream bill, who would you play with? Throbbing Gristle, Haus Arafna, Cabaret Voltaire, Severed Heads, and Drexciya at an invite-only location in the desert, with visuals by Chelsea Marks. Finish this sentence: “The music industry needs more…” musicians and artists with a profound connection to the scene that they are supporting, as opposed to businessmen trying to make money. Finish this sentence: “Rock and roll is…” tired. Tell us your favorite lyric from your own music. “Paint life onto my cheeks and walk away forever on callused feet” [from an untitled track of Appetite] appetite is releasing a new cassette of live material before hitting the studio this fall
