DemandetDestroy Q&A feat: Anne Deniau
Love Looks Not With the Eyes
Thirteen Years with Lee Alexander McQueen
Anne Deniau
Lee Alexander McQueen (1969–2010), whose design combined visionary
aesthetics, emotional power, and extraordinary craft, was known for
staging provocative shows that were as much performances as venues to
display his couture creations.
Charged with energy, informed by history
and culture, and filled with fresh concepts, McQueen’s shows have become
legends not only of fashion but also of art.
Anne Deniau was the only
photographer allowed backstage by McQueen for 13 years, beginning in
September 1997 and ending with the final show in March 2010. She
captured McQueen working with his close circle of
collaborators including designer Sarah Burton, milliner Philip Treacy,
jewelry designer Shaun Leane, and model Kate Moss to create his
meticulously produced spectacles. Her book offers an inspiring homage,
through the art of photography, to the work of a great artist.
Name:
Anne Deniau, aka Ann Ray
Occupation: Image Maker, Writer
Fav.city: New York, Berlin, Guethary, and the next one to discover.
Fav.scent: Orange blossom
Fav.book: Hm. “Lettres à un jeune poète”, Rilke. “Fragments d’un discours
amoureux”, Barthes. “Moon Palace”, Paul Auster. “Bonjour Tristesse”, Sagan
“Au sud de la frontière, à l’ouest du soleil” Murakami
Fav.designer: Lee McQueen, Albert Elbaz, Yves Saint-Laurent, Alaïa, Rei
Kawakubo. Philip Treacy for hats. Shaun Leane for jewels.
Fav.color: I once asked this question to a great Japanese Artist, Moriguchi
Kako, he answered this “Can you imagine the suffering of the other colors if I
was responding to this question ?” Maybe black, because black is warm, deep, intense, infinite and soft like velvet.
Fav.drink: Champagne, Mojito, fresh water.
Fav.dish: grilled scallops. Anything with truffles.
Fav.actor.actress: Cate Blanchett, Juliette Binoche, Tilda Swinton, Benicio
Del Toro, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Julianne Moore, Catherine
Deneuve, Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Devos, Jean Seberg.
Fav.restaurant: Fanelli Café in NY, Ferdi & “la petite cour” in Paris, Hakkasan in London
What is your motto: I can fly if asked gently
The last movie you have seen: Moonrise kingdom
Who are your heroes: None. People I admire : Odysseus, maybe. Or Camille Claudel. People who are true to themselves.
When and where you the happiest: When there is some kind of harmony, with
precious friends and beloved ones, in a sheltering environment. It could happen anywhere... In favorite cities : NY, Berlin, London... Or in front of the ocean, for hours or days. When we are gathered with friends around art : Like enjoying “Einstein on the beach” in January in Amsterdam,
like in Roma with Sylvie Guillem in february, like in last november with Michael Nyman in Mexico.
When doing nothing with somebody makes you happy anyway. The happiness of a presence. Doing nothing. Just being, together.

DemandetDestroy Q&A feat: Sam Way
Q&A
Name and Occupation: Sam Way.
I’m a slasher. Creative soul/Model/Writer/Musician/All things to all men. It’s
not nice to pigeonhole
Hometown: Crediton, Devon, SW
England. There’s not much there for me now, but it was home once
Fav.city: London innit
Fav.scent: The smell of
something in the oven
Fav.designer: Lisa King check out this newcomer, she's destined for great things. Her scarf collection is epic
Fav.color: Black…..
Fav.drink: hmmmmmm….mint tea
Fav.dish: Very fond of Bangers and
Mash, Fish and Chips, the British classics. Honest, simple food made with Love.
Adore Som-tam (Thai-style green papaya salad) and on a quest to find to the
best beef burger in the world.
Fav.actor.actress: Young Robert
Di Nero
Fav.restaurant: Tough one….Toss
up between, Ottolenghi, The Wild food café in Neals Yard or L'atelier du Joel Robuchon
– not that I eat there often, but when I did my mouth, if my mouth had eyes,
had both tears of joy in them as I ate and wept tears of disbelief when the
meal was over.
What is your motto: Love over
all
The last movie you have
seen: Argo. On a plane. I mean it was good….but…really…how many awards did
it win…
Who are your heroes: David
Blaine used to be I my hero. I met him at a party, he was amazing, but meeting
him demystified him. My mum is a hero.
When and where you the
happiest: I think we all look back to the past in a sort of nostalgic
bliss thinking things were so much better back then. Happiness has to be
grounded in the now, so…now…I’m most happy now… writing this
What is your present state of
mind: Intoxicated/Enlightened /Deluded. A true slasher
How would you like to die: At
peace with all whom I love, including myself
The Quality you most admire in a
man: Openness
The Quality you most admire in a
woman: Openness
Your most marked characteristic: I
attract eccentrics
What is your idea of perfect
happiness: I don’t think perfect happiness is possible, and we shouldn’t
strive for perfection, it’s inhuman. We may have moments of fleeting ecstasy,
but they’ll always be balanced by respective downturns. I think for me ‘perfect
happiness’ would be a balanced feeling of contentedness, of centeredness, an
ability to adapt to any environment, to any situation, to enjoy and appreciate
all there is to life: Its entire spectrum, its peaks and all its troughs.
What natural gift would you most
like to possess: I’d love to be able to read music, and speak lots of languages
What do you consider your
greatest achievement: Keeping sane
What's the nicest thing someone's
ever done for you: Mum and Dad gave me life, that was pretty nice of them
If you had to cook dinner for
someone tonight, what would you make: Ive got loads of cheese in the
fridge…so…something cheesy
If you could rid the world of one
thing what would it be: Suffering
If you won a million dollars what
would you do with it: I’d buy up some houses in the same area, rent them out
really cheaply to all my friends. Or…become a travelling philanthropist for a
year or two trekking around the world with my guitar on my back…Or…I’ve always
wanted to build a school…so there…its good to have options.
If your house was on fire and could
only grab 3 things, what would they be: My Guitar, all my various writing
scrawled in different notebooks, and my laptop
If you could change one thing about
yourself, what would it be: How hard I can be on myself.
DemandetDestroy: If you let it, it’ll take you on quite a journey
