When I was shopping for my bass, I definitely had criteria for what I wanted to look like, and I definitely had fashion inspiration behind my decision to go black & white with my bass. Not surprising, really, because I always seem to connect things to fashion, I can’t help it. And my main fashion inspiration for my bass was, of course, Ann Demeulemeester, who is pretty much a rockstar. She’s the queen of black & white, and her clothes pretty much define “cool”. I was inspired by this menswear photoshoot from the amazing print and online magazine Nomenus Quarterly is pretty amazing, and perfectly captures the tailored but slightly disheveled menswear look I was thinking of when I bought my bass. I think it’s pretty close to perfection. Her aesthetic has always been consistent, cool, sharp, and irresistible. On a side note, Nomenus is an amazing publication, with lots of really great editorials (I love love love the Dries Van Noten one).

Soundtrack of the day: Blindness by Metric (for some reason I woke up with the lyrics “where it is and where it stops nobody knows/ you gave me a life I never chose/ I wanna leave but the world won’t let me go” stuck in my head, no idea why)
