B-Rude

About Me

Boy George , singer, songwriter, DJ, actor, author, photographer,launches his new line “B-Rude”.
“B-Rude” examines new perspectives on human identity andexplores our limits which have been set forth by the fashionindustry. Questioning the roles in which we all play a part of.
Each design, though some abstract , suggest different visualmessages to each person who views them, and each interpretationis correct. Objects in this world are what they are to you because ofhow you happen to see them, and where you are at in your life.
While living in New York last year. George began makingcustomised pieces for himself and some of his friends. One byone they would come over ..to be a part of the creation . As eachpiece was being created he personalized them with witty slogans andelements to tailor to their personalities. Outlandish designscovered with cocks and roaches for some, butterflies and crosses for others. Each piece he hand made right in his apartment.Teaching himself to silk-screen the designs, applying heat transfers,hand dye and appliqué.
Designing his own clothes since he was a boy , starting this line issecond nature to George. There isn’t any element that has notpassed through his hands. For some starting a line means hiringdesigners to do it for you. Fortunately that is not the case with “B-Rude” . George’s approach is completely hands-on . From conceptto production .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"B-Rude is my emotional rage, vicious optimism with a dash oftongue in chic' in fashion form. I design clothes for those who liketheir reputation to arrive in the room ahead of them. You don'thave to be an attention seeker, however, attention seeking hasbecome a bit of a crime, especially for gay men over the lastdecade.

The price of assimilation is a loss of identity and I for one long forsome of that glorious 'rock n roll ambiguity. Add to this, the factthat straight male vanity has finally caught up with the 'queer'variety and there has been what can only be described as a'hijacking of camp' by straight guys. Terms like 'meterosexuality' .. are being thrown around in a feeble attempt to explain whystraight boys are spending longer in front of the mirror and whythe queer boys are dressing like they have come to fix yourplumbing.

'B-rude' is an attempt to throw yet another visual spanner in theworks and further blur those boundaries which pigeonhole us alland prove nothing. Certainly we hope to attract the androgynousinto our colourful closet but I'm also keen to see the rude logopopping out from a pair of worn Levi's. The devil really is in thedetail.

“She was trying to explain fashion. I stopped her and said “There isno point to fashion”."
