STERLING RUBY S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA.

For episode 6 of season 3, artist Sterling Ruby explains to Suzy why he was invited to take part in Paris Haute Couture with his label S.R. STUDIO. CA. LA. COUTURE and how he went from a construction site to constructing haute couture. Crossing the boundaries of art - by using fashion as an artistic medium of self expression. Coming from a hippy and punk background, Sterling Ruby talks about the challenges he faces as an artist and designer in achieving an urban feel, working on the surface of materials with bleach, minerals and hand dying - pushing the boundaries between artistic mediums. The artist first dipped his ‘brushes’ in the fashion world when Raf Simons and he met and forged a relationship, which took them to Dior and Calvin Klein and beyond on a route of ‘Americana’. Hear from the artist himself, Sterling Ruby, on his approach to couture and his rise to fashion through the art world. @sterlingruby @srstudiolaca Produced by Natasha Cowan @tashonfash Edited by Tim Thornton @timwthornton Music by @joergzuber Photograph Courtesy of Melanie Schiff Graphics by Paul Wallis To find Suzy's articles visit https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/suzy-menkes ...find Suzy on Instagram @suzymenkes and Twitter @thesuzymenkes Hosted on Acast.
