What does Arlo Parks wear and why does it matter?

Bella Freud 0:08
Hi, come in. Welcome to Fashion Neurosis, Arlo Parks.
Arlo Parks 0:19
Thank you. Thanks so much for having me.
Bella Freud 0:22
Can you tell me what you're wearing today and why you chose these particular clothes?
Arlo Parks 0:27
Yeah, so I decided to wear things that friends of mine had made and all my little lucky charms. So I'm wearing my Blue Burnham jewellery. And then my friend Jawara created this hardware piecemeal Massive Attack shirts. Because I do enjoy kind of wearing references on my chest, on my body. And my friend Victoria made these parachute pants for me and these acne shoes. So I think things that feel me and things that carry meaning today.
Bella Freud 1:00
The shirt, I mean, it's all really beautiful and it all seems to sort of gel together, but the t-shirt is just fantastic. Thank you. I love that. I'm a huge Massive Attack fan and I've seen them so many times and it feels great that they're somehow in the room thanks to your t-shirt.

How does Arlo Parks describe her relationship with success?

Bella Freud 1:21
It's really, really good.
Arlo Parks 1:23
Yeah, and there's something to me about the kind of metallic quality in the hardware with the colors and the soft, I don't know, there's something about the soft and hard textures that really speaks to me and he's wonderful.
Bella Freud 1:38
Yeah. And also there's something about the safety pins, the safety and the pin. And they both seem to, massive attacks seem to do that. They puncture, you know, delusion and then they hold things together in terms of, well, for me, this is how I recognize them as like the holder together of integrity and, you know, reality.
Arlo Parks 2:05
Yeah, that's beautiful. I also feel like the way that they, you know, draw from Caribbean sound system culture, like UK hip hop and poetry, and even the, you know, the equipment they're using to create their music, it does feel like this blend or this collage of drawing together these different things to kind of have this like real kernel of truth. Yeah, they're so inspiring.
Bella Freud 2:28
Yeah. I like their backdrops, too. They have these backdrops created by Adam Curtis, you know, the filmmaker, editor. When I saw them... I saw them, I can't remember if it was in Bristol, I think it was last summer or the summer before, and they had one that said, give me some good news, which I wrote down.
Arlo Parks 2:56
Yeah, it's interesting that you do that too.

What influences Arlo Parks' poetry and lyricism?

Arlo Parks 2:59
I feel like there are certain kind of sentences and fragments that seem like they repeat themselves and that I somehow see everywhere. And I always note those down because I feel like it's clay for some kind of creation in the future. Yeah.
Bella Freud 3:13
Do you have a notebook that you use? Oh yes, I do.
Arlo Parks 3:17
I'm such a creature of habit. We were talking before about, you know, people who sprawl and people who organize. And I think having notebooks, I have the small skins of specific dimensions. different colors for each one. But I think because I'm constantly kind of in motion and live quite a restless life, I'm always writing on little bits of paper and promising that I'll organize them in my notebook and never really doing so. So yeah, I do.
Bella Freud 3:44
Yeah, I do. I do that too. I have millions of lists and I love them. Hmm.
