Model, singer and song-writer, Sky Ferreira strikes the pose for Maison Kitsuné Spring/Summer 2014 New York – New Wave with Jonny Pierce and Heather Boo. 

Discovered in 2010 with her single “One“, Sky Ferreira is back with her first album called “Night Time, My Time” with an explicit art cover signed by Gaspard Noé. Currently on tour,  Sky took time to answer a few questions for the Kitsuné Journal.

Everything is embarrassing really ?

Brooklyn is now home to you; do you still remain a California girl at heart?

I think every California girl remains a California girl for the rest of their life. Even though I consider New York my home and moved here almost 5 years ago, I still walk as slow & have the mentality as someone who grew up at Venice Beach.

Your first album “Night time, My time”, already out in the US,  is about the hit the European charts.  How does it feel ? 

I’ve never been able to release something internationally so I’m extremely excited. It’s been a huge goal of mine because a lot,if not most of my fans are from other countries than America. They won’t have to steal the songs from YouTube & can have the recordings in it’s true form and quality.

If we catch you on a typical day, what is your outfit of choice?

I’m pretty all over the place. I dress in whatever I feel comfortable in. I don’t like my clothes to wear me.

What are your favorite hang-out spots in New-York and Paris?

At home, I don’t go out often since I’m never home. I usually just drive around with my boyfriend and I love Angelika theater & Kim’s video store. In Paris, I usually hang out at Hotel Amour because I usually have to meet most of my friends in Paris there. Gaspar Noe always takes me to the best places. He took me to Le Comptoir General & now I always go with my band.

Do you have a motto? 

No, I try not to live by mottos.

What is your favorite Maison Kitsuné piece you got to wear during the shoot?

The sunglasses. I collect sunglasses and always wear them onstage. They are the cure to stage fright.

What a pleasure to spot our dear friend DJ Falcon, who just collaborated with Daft Punk on their new album “Random Access Memories” out next Monday, dressed in Maison Kitsuné!

In an interview given to The Creators Project for Vice magazine, about his co-working with the helmeted robot duo, DJ Falcon, namely Stéphane Quême, is wearing the Classic Shirt BD Solid in sky from the Maison Kitsuné Spring-Summer 2013 men collection.

A timeless piece twisted by sophisticated details, which is, each year, a flagship garment of the Maison Kitsuné collection for men.

This Spring-Summer 2013, it was pigmented in a pastel range of colors, for a luminous rendering which will last all year during.

Maison Kitsuné x JM Weston boots (more info about this collaboration here)
“We did a capsule line with them where we were making certain products they’d never done—they’ve been manufacturing the same way since ever—and they wanted to get some people involved and propose a new way of making the loafer and those kinds of things. They were a bit scared for their clientele, but there is the Internet now—it’s 2011—so they were feeling that they needed to kind of move on. It’s interesting for us as a young brand to go and see all the factories that have been working for 130 years. That’s what we love about JM Weston—their savoir-faire. We’ve done boots with them, and derbies and loafers, and finally, they are really, really happy.”

Olympia Le Tan Fox
“She made a Kitsuné [fox, in Japanese] in felt, and it’s really beautiful, a real piece of art. At some point it would be nice to make a t-shirt with it, or even just frame it. Olympia’s got style. She’s got crazy style. We’re part of a bunch of friends who hang out in Paris.”

Swarovski Diamond Heart
“My friend Lo Safai of the band HeartsRevolution offered me that crystal from Swarovski. It’s a very beautiful thing, which is on the desk in my office. I got it while waiting for them to deliver me the album, so I will appreciate that. They’ve got a fantastic album in the making, which is really almost finished, but we’re taking time to finish [the] little things. The album should come out next year at some point, I hope.”

Longchamp x Jeremy Scott Traveler Bag
“This is from a line Jeremy Scott is doing with Longchamp. The line has a lot of funny patterns, and mine says, ‘This is not your bag’ on it. It’s my DJ bag and it’s perfect for short trips because it’s got wheels and is small enough to carry on, but it’s big enough for 48 hours or so. I’m DJing in Asia every month, so I’ll do, for example, Hong Kong and Fukuoka, Tokyo, and Osaka, and it’s perfect for a short trip like that.”

Daft Punk Golden Plaque
“I was involved with the Daft Punk campaign during the time everyone wasn’t stealing music, when people were still selling, and it was still possible to get a gold record. It’s funny because people in the music industry, they’ve got their wall full of gold records, and me, I’ve got my Daft Punk one. In our team of five we were working and brainstorming, but mostly everything was coming from Daft Punk and we were trying to trying to make it happen. EMI gave one to each of us on the little team.”

Daft Punk Table
“Daft Punk designed a table with Habitat, a European furniture company. It’s a big table you can plug in and there is light going on to the rhythm of the music. It’s a really funny table—all glass everywhere, and you’ve got the light moving to the rhythm of the music. I have one in my office, so when I’ve got fans of Daft Punk who come over, I do a little demo and they’re like, ‘Wow, wow!'”

New Balance x Tomorrowland Sneakers
“I bought those shoes months ago in Tomorrowland, a beautiful high-end department store, while I was DJing in Tokyo. I just love them, the colors are super nice. I’m not into collecting sneakers really to be honest, because it’s impossible to collect the ones from each little store, any kind of collaboration, or all the collector’s shoes, but these ones are particularly super nice. I love them. If you go to Japan you have to go to Tomorrowland—they’ve got such a good selection for men.”

AIAIAI headphones
“These headphones are Danish, very well done, and they are a proper headphone for DJs, you know? I’ve got the black ones. I don’t even use it to DJ yet because it’s really beautiful, but I should. It’s a dynamic young Danish entrepreneur and they’re very well done; it’s a solid product you can really use.”

Glenn O’Brien’s How to Be a Man
“My friend Jean-Philippe Delhomme made me discover that book. I love the idea of explaining in a funny way what you need to do to be a man. I’m super fan of Jean-Philippe Delhomme, as well as the way the book explains in a sarcastic way many things which are obvious but also funny. Glenn O’Brien and Jean-Philippe Delhomme fit well together, and the book has a character of looking at people from the outside, because sometimes people are too much.”

Chinos by Incotex
“Incotex is like an Italian slow-wear line. They have a very comfortable chino that made my summer. They’re very well cut, and they take particular care about the way they wash the chino, making a really nice, unique tint. I’ve know about the brand for two years or so, but I think it’s way older than that. It has a bit of a following among men over 45, maybe because they’re kind of expensive for a chino and because their shop is near Rue Royale, by the Hermès store.”
