Cult, Malkovich is definitely the old man in the fashion circle, rather than a cross border trader. In the fashion circle, Malkovich is almost the only practitioner who does not sell celebrity effects, and his works also bring a refreshing feeling to this industry.

.

> you know John Markovic -- that screen is full of weird, treacherous, and neurotic qualities. The masterpieces are classic Cult films, such as the old drama of "dangerous relationship" and "burn after reading". Are they actually fashion designers?

.

actor and designer are not the two identities of fire and water, but they maintain some contradictory tension on Malkovich.

As an actor, he avoids the world and never accepts requests for photo or autograph. His private life is rarely exposed.

As a designer, he had to endure the crowded crowds on the fashion show, carefully considered every cloth and haggled.

.

The fashion editor of the P Daily Telegraph thinks that it takes only two minutes to weigh the weight of the so-called "celebrity" designers, such as throwing up the "high heel structure" to Cheryl Kerr, or discussing the supply chain with Freddie Flynn.

But Malkovich is different. Four years ago, when he had a legal dispute with a Italy collaborator and ended up a personal brand Uncle Kimono, he founded the new designer brand Technobohemian.

He is definitely the old man in the fashion circle, not the spur crossed.

.

Malkovich can not remember clearly that he has launched several series of works. "This is the 19 time or the 18 time," he answered the reporter's questions vaguely.

His latest launch was in March of this year, exclusive design for yoox.com and yoox.cn of its brand Technobohemian limited men beach series.

In the course of the interview, the double artist who worked well in the movie circles and fashion circles showed his love and familiarity with making clothes. He unhesiated the name of the fabric supplier, and accurately mentioned the specific figures of the Italy garment industry. He also mentioned that he was worried about the fact that some brands were sticking with "Made in Italy", but in fact they were not.

Malkovich P grew up in the town of Benton, a coal mining industry in the United States, ranking second in the family.

His family is very well known in the locals. Not only does his family run a newspaper, but his father also edited an environmental magazine.

Some people call the Malkovich family "the only one in town", because most people are busy with gold rush, and they stick to the "never mercenary" ancestral training.

.

"before long, if you talk about money in front of my father, he will hit you everywhere."

Malkovich recalls.

The Americanization of Hollywood made it impossible for him to maintain his family tradition, so he decided to stay away from worldly troubles and went to France with a view to a more free and comfortable life.

.

he is a born artist. He is very fond of music and has great talent for painting. He is also a good gardener.

As for drama, it is a mistake.

In 1970s, a rumor spread to Malkovich's ears and said, "boys in drama can make girls crazy."

So he was admitted to the drama department of University of Illinois.

.

"but I was also interested in clothes when I was young, so when I was learning drama, I also chose movie costumes."

Malkovich's movie path - what films have been taken and what awards have been won?

But many people do not know that in many films starring him, Malkovich also played the role of costume design. Javier Baden, the hero of the dancers upstairs, had the privilege of enjoying such treatment. He recalled with pride: "during the filming, Malkovich had to take all my measurements. Not long after that, a beautiful suit and shirt was designed."

.

over time, Malkovich's design talent began to circulate in a small circle. Even Johnny Depp and Spike Jones also found his custom clothes.

In the fashion show of Yohji Yamamoto, Prada and Comme des Garcons, Malkovich's guest appearance is becoming more and more common. He even directed three British fashion designers' Bella films.

.

someone recommended Malkovich to Italy designer Francesco. The two people hit it off and created the Uncle Kimono brand, and Malkovich herself went on to design a total of 10 series of men's clothing.

After the termination of cooperation, he and Uncle Kimono consultant Richard Rami (Riccardo Rami) and so on, together with the creation of a new menswear brand - Technobohemian.

.

"Richard Rami gave me a Bensimon Lemini (Simone Ramini) unpublished Italy novel.

The story takes place in Prato, Italy. The hero's inspiration comes from a common friend around us.

I saw the word "Technobohemian" in my book, so I went to ask the author if I could use it as our company's name.

Malkovich explained the origin of this strange brand.

.

Bohemian (Bohemia wind) has always been Malkovich's favorite style, "because it represents a very free and romantic way of life", just like the fact that he lives in the center of Hollywood, but he keeps breaking away from it. He only takes the way of independent films.

"Simon told me that the word" Techno "comes from Greek, which is both an art of life and a living art.

But I understand it as technology here, which means that we live in a rapidly changing technological era. Although sometimes subject to this, we actually have more freedom. "

Malkovich explained that semantics still can not be separated from the interpretation of "freedom".

.

express oneself .

.

look at the works of Malkovich's previous quarters, and you will easily label them with "unconventional" labels -- collars without collar shirts, high Lapel jackets, bow ties and scarves.

In short, the jacket, trousers and coats are full of finer details and are more than dazzling.

"I hope that the structure and fabric of my design are different."

He explained.

"From the beginning of composition, I gave up too much fashionable elements. Besides, those classical designs such as blue jeans did not enter my eyes.

Since you can buy black and thin suits anywhere, why do I have to design it again? "Malkovich said.

.

as a designer, Malkovich insisted on participating in every aspect of clothing, from composition to tailoring, and even the design of lining.

"I know fashion can be very superficial, but I want to take it seriously."

Generally speaking, each of his series or even a single item has a specific name, but you never know what the designer's mind is thinking.

.

this time, there are corresponding names in the Capsule series designed for yoox.com.

A single product named "36 hours in Ibiza" - inspired by a TV program Malkovich saw on television, tells of an Englishman flying from London Gatwick Airport to Ibiza, a Spanish tourist city (Ibiza), and then reveling in a dance hall for 36 hours.

"In the end, he got a toothbrush and some deodorant and maybe a T-shirt," he said. "I think this idea is a little bit amazing, but it's very interesting."

There is also a single item called "Sultan Sultanahmet", which is a place in Istanbul. Its unique color has given Malkovich a lot of inspiration.

.

"it's very easy to work with him," Richard said. "Because there's always a constant stream of inspiration in his head."

.

P > inspiration is not always able to achieve performance.

Malkovich said bluntly that Technobohemian's clothes were expensive because he insisted on using the best materials. "It's difficult for sales. You know that today is not the golden age of fashion industry. People are reluctant to try new brands and new thinking."

.

but it is undeniable that Technobohemian brings a refreshing feeling to the entire fashion industry.

In this industry, Malkovich is almost the only practitioner who does not sell celebrity effects.

"Fashion is very confusing and very urgent.

But what's most fascinating about it is allowing you to express yourself most freely, "he insists. This is the reason why he has been in fashion all his life.
