Mind, Body & Soul
THE LOOK BOOK
During the process of
coming up with the idea for
the dress, its designer Kei
Kagami came up with the
idea of it being made out of
Velcro, and I had the idea of
getting the audience to
actually design the pattern of
my dress, which I thought
worked really well!!
!
My skin changes, not my
clothes - clothes are just the
leaves that I rest on, the
flowers framing my head. My
mentality and motives for my
day, and my show are what
makes my clothes sing. So
for my next gig I am wearing
a black sack with some killer
heels! Ha ha ha! ■

I love fashion. When I was
quite little my dad would
often ask me, “who have you
come as today?” When I was
a younger artist I tried and
challenged many fashion/
style ideas. Today I have
settled with what makes me
comfortable, this still
changes everyday, it’s just
the way I am. There is a
definite need to express my
mood through fashion as
well as my music. !
The more I’m on stage, and
the more often I organise my
own photo and video shoots,
the more I have realised that
actually I am the chameleon.
