Fashion icon

"I'm very influenced by the whole 60’s-70’s London era, not only in terms of my clothes but also in terms of the music I listen to, the movies I watch, the writers I read. Those influences probably translates into my personal style in an unconscious way."

Interview with kate!

Kate will appear in the september issue of Interview.

This is a part of her "interview" with Glenn O'Brien:

GO: But being a fashion freak, how do you contain you--

KM: I am not a fashion freak!

GO: Yes, you are.

KM: No, I'm not at all. I hardly ever--

GO: Okay, you're a clothes person--

KM: Yeah, I like clothes, but I hardly ever go shopping. Hardly ever!

GO: How do you get your clothes then?

KM: Well, I just come across them.

GO: [laughs] Yeah, my wife comes across them too.

KM: If I see a secondhand shop, I'll go in. but I don't, like traipse down Bond Street.

GO: I know, but I also know you have an incredible wardrobe. Don't you have a lot of stuff?

KM: I don't have as much as you probably think

GO: I just sort of assumed you're like my wife. She has great clothes that she wears, but she's also a collector. I am trying to buy another apartment in my building so there will be enough room for me. There are stacks of clothes.

KM: Well, I edit. I edit things down, and I've got a massive dressing room in the country, and so all the things I'm not going to wear but don't want to get rid of go there. And all the stuff I want to get rid of goes to Oxfam.

GO: So you'll wear it again in 10 years?

KM: Or my daughter will wear it. When she's 16. All those Pucci numbers and things that I wore when I was 17 that I won't really wear. But I'm saving them for her really. That's my blackmail. "Don't eat your dinner, and you won't get my clothes. You won't grow, and you won't get into my clothes." Now she's a fashion freak.

GO: How old is she?

KM: She's almost 6.

GO: She would probably like my kid. He's turning 8. He's a real ladies' man.

KM: She likes older boys. Have you got a picture? [kid pictures... oohing and aahing] He has olive skin!

GO: My son Oscar announced the other day that he was getting married to his girlfriend from school. He's wearing a ring now. I said, "So are you going to move in together?" And he said, "Why would we do that?" He's so smart.

KM: Lila says she's going to get married three times. She's going to have three husbands, and she knows exactly who they are. They say the funniest things. Never a dull moment!
