there's some sort of correlation with you and Alison as well there's just like this artistry and in the way that you're creating personas and obviously you shine through like there's an authenticity of your personality but I'm really interested in this obsession you have with like finding all of these different kind of outfits and insane dresses and clothes and I was watching a video of you in LA or somewhere oh in the big fluffy pink thing yeah well we've been calling her yeah
So Vivian's a really great example, though, of somebody that I think smashed down kind of barriers between different industries in terms of like creative industries.
Because the thing that I've always tried to do with talk art, me and Russell, when we did it together as well, art isn't made in a vacuum.
Just like musicians are inspired by artists or artists are inspired by fashion.
And I love that right now here in Margate, I know there's an artist who works down the road from me who's listening to your music in their studio.
When you were growing up, what was your understanding of the art world or like museums or paintings?
What was that like for you, like your interaction with art?
You mentioned like free exhibitions, like how important that is.
Like here in Margate, we have Turner Contemporary and that's free to get into.
But when you think of all these different institutions, did you always feel like there was a bit of a barrier for you to like, you know, cross the threshold into a museum?
So when you would go to the V&A, what was it about the V&A in particular that you loved as a museum?
Was it because there are so many different things to discover?
Because I feel like I've seen some of my most favorite things in the V&A, like even exhibitions of clothes.
Like they had an exhibition a few years ago of like all these younger British designers.
