"DAVID, Soul

I was about 9 or 10 years old when the New York Dolls performed at the Mercer Arts Center in New York City. While I was too young to attend the show, it was the first time I was introduced to the Dolls and become aware of the brilliantly aloof, authentically arrogant and divine David Johansen. I always wanted to look like David. I wanted to dress like him, act like him and emulate his style.
Many years later (following “The Grunge Collection” at Perry Ellis) it was the morning of my first show under my own name and I still didn’t like the music we had selected. I decided to put on the New York Dolls (their first studio recording) and let it play from the beginning.

The Dolls, with their sequins, lame, feather boa’s, platform shoes, sleazy and trashy glamorous style was then and will always be an inspiration to me. Throughout the years working on shows and considering the music (that is always an integral part of the runway), there is never a season that goes by where I don’t believe that TRASH is the perfect song for a show.

As David Johansen said in the Bob Gruen book on the New York Dolls (one of my style bibles), The Dolls didn’t discriminate gay or straight. They were beyond sexuality. They were for everybody. They were not an elitist sort of thing and sexuality didn’t matter. “I like the way the Dolls were into what kids really liked about rock and roll – which was do whatever the fuck you want to, offend the grown-ups, and behave like the way a teenager really wants to behave.” –Richard Hell
