Art, Nightclubs & Scary Spice Ft Lotte Anderson
from Naked Beauty
“It’s no accident I do what I do. I come from a long line of people making culture, considering how we live and responding either sonically or aesthetically to that.” - my inspiring guest, Lotte Anderson, who was described as ‘emblematic of the city of London’Lotte, an artist living and working in London, creates work that explores the politics of taking up space, community, pleasure seeking and human behavior. Lotte tells me how growing up in West London amongst families of ‘creative dynasties’ inspired who she is today and how through the creation of her party series, MAXILLA, she realized she was making art the whole time. From there, she’s found herself in museums like the Tate Modern and we discuss how she’s able to recognize her own accomplishments.We discuss how she navigates the art world as a woman of color and how her racial ambiguity weighs on her at times and how she explores it in her work. We talk about Scary Spice, how Mel B’s blackness was treated, and re-evaluating GIRL POWER. After attending fashion school and working for Alexander McQueen, Lotte tells me why fashion ultimately wasn’t for her. We discuss Supreme, the CFDA, casting in fashion and Fenty.Although she’s often cited as one of the coolest girls in london, I’m shocked to learn that she felt awkward growing up. We talk about building community, the healing properties of water, CHANEL beauty, being a Gucci ambassador & lots more!Products/Things Mentioned@nakedbeautyplanet where you can find a lot of my natural beauty recipesMore info on Lotte’s latest show: How Do You Feel About Lying?Shy Girl, the artist she collaborated withhttps://www.coeval-magazine.com/coeval/shygirlKelis - Caught Out There (Iconic)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3JFwd1bk4Q111 Cryo where Lotte tried Cryotherapyhttps://www.111cryo.com/REN Rose Body Oilhttps://www.sephora.com/product/morroccan-rose-otto-ultra-moisture-body-oil-P378013Women’s Balance Essential Oil Blend from Neal Yardhttps://www.nealsyardremedies.com/aromatherapy/aromatherapy-oils-and-blends/essential-oil-blends/2715.htmlAesop Facial Tonerhttps://www.aesop.com/nz/p/skin/tone/parsley-seed-anti-oxidant-facial-toner/Chanel beauty compact cream essential palette (comes in a range of 6 shades)https://www.chanel.com/us/makeup/p/149150/palette-essentielle-conceal-highlight-color/Dazed Beauty on IG - Constructed beauty at workThe Cleremont twins - for anyone unfamiliar------Follow Lotte: https://www.instagram.com/_lotte_andersen_/-----Thank you for listening!
