Peaches At New York Fashion Week
Fresh from her appearance at the Berlin Festival, Peaches arrived in New York this week to take part in friend and former stylist Vaughan Alexander’s show in the fashion week with his label ‘Verlaine‘.
Peaches has been invited to arrange the music for the show.
Many of you will be familiar with Vaughan’s work – even if you don’t recognize the name – who has supported Peaches throughout her career with an incredible amount of costumes – both for the live shows and for music videos.
You’ll have seen the legendary white tombstone leather jacket and matching hotpants he created for the ‘Fatherfucker’ tour, the silver and black leather outfits of the ‘Impeach my Bush’ tour with the Herms. And there’s no way you could miss the big pink ball costume, the gold cape, the ‘fuck you’ body suit or the jokers black and gold leather costume from the ‘I Feel Cream’ tour!!
Plenty of his designs have featured in Peaches music vids too – like the pink hotpants and jacket combo in the ‘Kick it’ video, all of the costumes for Peaches and the band in ‘Boys wanna be her’ and in the white leather bathing suit in the ‘I Feel Cream’ video, which he styled!
When asked how she came to meet Vaughan, she told us “Vaughan met me right before my show in NYC in 2002, looked me up and down, disappeared and then showed up with leather hot pants which fit me perfectly!”
Here’s a little blast from the past to coincide with Peaches and Vaughan’s slot at the NYC fashion week this week alongside a little show-reel of some of the marvelous costumes Vaughan has created over the years!
