COLLECTION 2 - AVANT-GARDE

38 KALTBLUT
KALTBLUT: The theme of the new Collection
is Avant-Garde. What does the word
Avant-Garde mean to you? And what is
fashion forward in your eyes?
KALI: The word Avant-Garde is a little over
used I think these days. It´s been thrown around
so much and is used for so much today. To me
Avant-Garde is something so beyond fashion
and design. And it all depends on the way you
look at it. And being Avant-Garde is being like
no one else and doing something that has not
been done yet. That´s very hard today cause
everything has been done in fashion and design.
We are kinda at the point of recycling
design which I think is not such a bad thing
cause it makes us appreciate the past more.
You can be fashion forward by just doing your
own thing and not following the trend. Make
your own trend.

KALTBLUT: Do you work with a stylist for
your videos and concerts? Or do you do it
all by yourself?
KALI: I have never had a stylist in my life and
I´ve been in the music industry since I was just
a kid. I´ve always had a strong sense of style
and I just wanna wear whatever I want. I make
a lot of my own costumes and I style Steed
Lord and myself. I love it. It´s so much fun and
I have the freedom to do what ever I want.
I have done a lot of photoshoots throughout
the years where I´ve just been a model and
I´ve had to work with stylists and that´s fun too.
It´s interesting to me seeing what other people
want me to wear. But I can only do that kind of
thing once in a while cause I like to be in control
and wear what I want.
KALTBLUT: How important is the style of
Steed Lord for the group and the image
you wanna transmit to your fans?
KALI: It´s not the most important thing. Music
is the most important thing for Steed Lord.
Getting dressed is something that´s fun and
thankfully it goes well with our music. The guys
dress the way they want to and I have my own
style. Somehow it just all comes together very
well and it looks like we have planned the way
we look but that´s not the case.
We just do whatever we want stylewise. When
we do our videos we have a theme in the video
and that´s more planned but it´s always an
open discussion and we play around with outfits
and looks to make the story interesting and
beautiful in our music videos.
KALTBLUT: Will there be one day - Kali the
fashion designer? Is this something you
would like to do?
KALI: Yes I would love to have my own clothing
line at some point. I have so many ideas for
a clothing line and I think that´s gonna happen
in the near future. It would be attached with
Steed Lord cause the guys really wanna design
as well.
KALTBLUT: Let´s talk about Steed Lord. A
new album is coming soon. Can you tell
us something about it? In which direction
are you moving?
KALI: We are working hard on the new music
and we are putting our heart and soul into it
like we always do. We wanted to approach this
album like it´s our first and last album. There´s
a lot of stuff we want to get off our chest and
that we want our fans to understand and people
that are hearing us for the very first time.
The direction is a little more vocal driven songs
and the music is more mid tempo. I guess the
sound of the album is more humble and not as
over the top and aggressive as before.
