For anyone who missed the memo, Heatherette are a New York based design duo who became huge when Sex and the City megastar stylist Patricia Field bought 20 of one of their designs at first sight. Since then it’s been a ride up a gloriously trashy trail.
Heatherette have dressed the likes of drags queens, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Yeah, they really got that drag queen thing down. Their stuff is an orgasm of colour, sequins and tatters served up in the form of club wear. If anyone wants to buy me some Heatherette, I won’t say no.
This has not gone un-noticed by the once queen of New York, and now Queen Of Pop, Madonna, who has asked the Heatherette boys to knock up some stuff for the Sticky And Sweet Tour. Amazing.
“Liz Rosenberg, her publicist, just contacted us and said that she wants us to come up with some sketches, some ideas and some inspirations for her tour,” Richie Rich explained. “I think, basically, for Madonna’s tour, we’ll come up with some sketches, some inspirations and listen to the album to get some ideas, and as young designers, we’ll come up with what we think is happening right now. That’s why Madonna’s a genius — she picks out the new blood, and we’ll see what happens. She already did the cowboy hat, so we’ll need to think of something else,” Rich joked.
Madonna is definitely into this whole candy coloured, modern punk fashion wave. Just take a look at the teeshirt merch from the upcoming tour. Me wanty:
Continuing the drag queen theme, Heatherette have recently teamed up with Mac Cosmetics (the drag make-up of choice), to launch their own cross-branded make-up. The collection is all hot sparkles and strong pigments. And the packaging is like a big gay disco. Fabulous.
