Boy George, singer, songwriter, DJ, actor, author, photographer,
launches his new line “B-Rude”.
“B-Rude” examines new perspectives on human identity and
explores our limits which have been set forth by the fashion
industry. Questioning the roles in which we all play a part of.
Each design, though some abstract, suggest different visual
messages to each person who views them, and each interpretation
is correct. Objects in this world are what they are to you because of
how you happen to see them, and where you are at in your life.
While living in New York last year. George began making
customised pieces for himself and some of his friends. One by
one they would come over to be a part of the creation. As each
piece was being created he personalized them with witty slogans and
elements to tailor to their personalities. Outlandish designs
covered with cocks and roaches for some, butterflies and crosses
for others. Each piece he hand made right in his apartment.
Teaching himself to silk-screen the designs, applying heat transfers,
hand dye and appliqué.
Designing his own clothes since he was a boy, starting this line is
second nature to George. There isn’t any element that has not
passed through his hands. For some starting a line means hiring
designers to do it for you. Fortunately that is not the case with “B-
Rude”. George’s approach is completely hands-on. From concept
to production.
