American
designer Jeremy Scott recently teamed up with singer Miley Cyrus for his
Spring/Summer 2015 collection which just debuted at New York Fashion Week.
Miley created a mixture of unique accessories for the 'Dirty Hippy Collection'
using plastic toys and other random finds. Speaking on her inspiration for the
colourful designs, Miley says she sourced a lot of ideas from old childhood
favourites: "I just liked, and still Iike, stuff. You can't take your
Barbie apart, exactly, but like, Rainbow Looms and stickers, and those plastic
star bracelets—a lot of what's going on the runway today is stuff I've had
since I was a little kid, reshaped in new ways."
Miley
explains that she often manages to avoid the paparazzi and sneak out to visit
dollar stores where she gathers materials to create her ideas. She said that
she is able to go unnoticed to pick up supplies: "I get a lot of my
materials at the Dollar Store. I'm really good at being incognito. I swear,
I've walked through New York City and nobody's noticed. And I go to The Dollar
Store all the time."
The
singer explains that she has been enjoying making sculptures recently and
thinks the new accessories are an extension of the art she enjoys creating. She
also thinks they can be used in "everyday life" which makes them
unique from her usual creations: "I'm a maker. I've always done art,
and I've been really into sculptures lately. But I feel like accessories are
sculptural, too, they're just moulded so you can make them part of your
everyday life."
