Q & A by NICKY LONDON
Born in Jersey, and leaving as soon as I could, I found myself hoping around trying to find a place stable enough to hold the unstable.
b) Current occupation and/or title (i.e., designer, make-up artist,
etc.)
Costume designer
c) Inspiration (movies, designers, performers, music, color, etc.,
etc.)
Planet of the apes, eugenio recuenco, Traveling anywhere out of the
ordinary, john galliano, and animals. I get inspired by my dreams when I am sleeping a lot as well. I find that you can always put your trust in them. When I am at a loss for inspiration I always turn to my books. Whether it be a fiction novel or an art book, I can always find something inspiring by it.
d) Objective - Tell me your dreams, why did you come to New York, what are your aspirations?
I have always come to NYC growing up as sort of an inspiration to my childhood. I didnt think I was going to end up here, but after traveling around this is where I ended up. I think NY found me.
e) Where do see yourself in 5 or 10 years?
I see my passion for designing taking me somewhere suprisingly unexpected
f) If you could give one piece of advise to someone who has
aspirations of following in your footsteps what would it be?
Be humble. Dont shmooze your way into anything. Let your true self speak on its own. I see too much of ego overtaking, and it pushes away rather then brings together.
