Did you notice it too? The number of artists and musicians that start a line of clothing increases every day. Dutch DJ Don Diablo is also starting a label, that will hopefully be launched sometimes next winter. But first he will be performing at Studio Camping– a party initiated by the Dutch multibrandstore Men at Work– coming sunday. A perfect occasion to ask him some questions about fashion and stuff…Digitalista K. had the honors to interview the very ‘Digitalistic’ (we found a new verb LOL) DJ Don Diablo…
It didn’t happen overnight, I always was that kind of person. As long as I can remember, I’ve been like that. Ever since I was a young, cute little lady, my parents used to mock me. They told me that I reminded them of the fairytale “The Princess and the Pea”. Why? Because I could act pretty spoiled. And because I could act highly sensitive.
During our London Fashion Week last September, we did receive an invite for the show of David Koma. But we didn’t go, because we’re probably busy with shopping, eating or surviving a hangover (well, Digitalista K. and M. Did!)
after some great kind of fashion party . But now we regret it, because David Koma became the BFF of many celebs.

Opening Ceremony was one of the most inspiring shopping-finds in New York when I was there in February last year. An online shop wasn’t available yet, but now it is! The Soho-located shop reminded us a bit of SPRMRKT in Amsterdam. Interesting labels, collaborations and stylish personnel are a common thing for both shops.
Opening Ceremony also has a muse: Actress Chloë Sevigny. Known for her distinctive sense of style, Chloë Sevigny has designed a collection for Opening Ceremony, since Spring 2008. She finds her inspiration in nostalgia for her early days in New York, high school thrift store finds, and music by Depeche Mode and the Slits.
It started out with some awkward buzz. You-tube movies about some golden heels that were lost…The finder could win €20.000. Well, that’s not that bad. So everywhere we went we were looking for some hidden golden heels. Imagine all the shopping you can do with that prize…
I don’t know what the case with you guys is, but for me it’s quite obvious. Shopping is a feel-good activity. Some people (a whole lot if you ask me, sometimes I feel surrounded by this category) only buy things they desperately need, like breakfast-lunch-dinner groceries, matches to light the stove, new toilet paper when they ran out and so on. But hey, do these people know it’s really fun, soothing and enjoyable to shop? Not just for the necessary groceries and such, but for just about anything?
