AARI.BOSTROEM FALL 2012
You say that you design for the women you want to meet. Who are three you adore?
Liv Tyler, Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore.
What is your main goal in dressing these powerful women?
The true beauty of a woman is not found in the clothes she wears. It is reflected in her eyes. My duty is to call attention to her personality with my pieces shes wearing. I want to animate people to look into her eyes, into her soul. A woman's beauty grows with passing years. Its a result of experiences in life.
Beside's Sumera, who else are you listening to in your studio?
Antony Hegarty, Justin Nozuka, Lizz Wright, Adele or even Patricia Kaas. In the studio, I love to put the music very loud. It sometimes seams more like a big party than a workplace. I love the Soul and R&B classics like Aretha Franklin or Patti LaBelle but also some pop or dance is nice and easy to work with.
You put Sumera's new single on your Facebook wall and it grabbed my attention. What about her brought you two together?
We share so many creative thoughts and experiences. Her music is so close to life and to myself. It touches me every time.
