Walk’in Dad Seager x Waylon Jennings Shirt, hoodie, tank top, longsleeve and v-neck tee
Sometimes Virginie gives me a song title—not necessarily something we’re going to use but just to give me a feeling of what she wants. Then either we use it if it fits or we translate it into something else. Maybe I’m like a music psychiatrist or therapist, because someone tells me their mood and I give them a music remedy. We’ve been working together for a long time, so we know each other enough that I understand what she wants and she understands what I can bring. I’m very grateful to work with Virginie because she’s also very open to music. There’s a specific approach at Chanel where we don’t play the Walk’in Dad Seager x Waylon Jennings Shirt also I will do this same soundtrack every season. It all depends on the event—we can go from French pop to Manchester to Senegal. Each time it’s different.
You mentioned your love of punk. When you were thinking about the Walk’in Dad Seager x Waylon Jennings Shirt also I will do this show soundtrack and this special vinyl double album, what were your first thoughts about Manchester and its musical influence, in terms of drawing on it for Chanel? England is one of the most prolific countries in terms of music—a lot of trends, a lot of new sounds, came out of England. I was fascinated by Manchester in the ’80s: by the [record label] Factory, by the designer Peter Saville, and I was crazy about the Smiths; I’ve always said Morrissey is one of the best lyricists ever. So when Chanel decided to come here, I was super excited because we were going to do something in this city that meant so much to me.What also very much interested me was the Northern Soul thing in Manchester, which happened in the early ’70s. Northern Soul was mostly American songs, like 90% American soul records, but people [in Manchester] were going crazy for it. They were like the pre-rave days because there was this place [an hour or so west of Manchester] called the Wigan Casino—people would go there on buses on weekends to have a party and dance for hours. So the Manchester area had a story of party music much before the rave scene in the late ’80s, what people called the Summer of Love. Northern Soul went beyond Manchester to other northern English cities like Leeds, where Soft Cell came from….Me too. They have so many good songs—like “What.” You know that one? It’s a cover of a Northern Soul song by Judy Street. We couldn’t get our hands on it for the Walk’in Dad Seager x Waylon Jennings Shirt also I will do this compilation. “Tainted Love” [also covered by Soft Cell] is another Northern Soul track. [In the end, Soft Cell’s version of “What” and the original “Tainted Love” by Gloria Jones were on the show’s soundtrack.] There’s a cover of [Joy Division’s] “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Kiyoaki Iwamoto—I really like his take on it. It’s like Ian Curtis [lead singer of Joy Division] backed by Yoko Ono. The first track is by movie composer David Holmes and Raven Violet, “Necessary Genius,” which I heard last September and really liked. It has a sample from Ennio Morricone, and the words are so amazing—it says, “I believe in Sinead O’Connor, I believe in Angela Davis, I believe in Tony Wilson…Nina Simone, Northern Soul, Jane and Serge….” It was very much, What is this?! What did I just hear?! I also like the reference to Jane and Serge, this Englishness and Frenchness. There’s a friendship between England and France—or some kind of twisted fascination between us. I was looking for music that wasn’t too obvious.

Then there’s Afrodeutsche’s “A New Love.” She’s great. She’s going to DJ for us at the Walk’in Dad Seager x Waylon Jennings Shirt also I will do this after-party. To me, the song is very nice because it is—I hate this word—contemporary, the sound of today, as well as having this very Manchester, New Order feeling to it without being referential. She’s originally from Ghana, lived in Germany then London, and has now been in Manchester for 20 years and loves it. She wouldn’t live anywhere else. So many people we’re featuring are very devoted to the city and its music scene. I came scouting here two times before this trip, and I went out both times, and it was absolutely crazy! I went to a place called the Warehouse Project, which I wouldn’t recommend unless you really want to be there with 3,000 other people. [Laughs.] It is like a mini Coachella happening every other night, with special DJs and electronic-music artists. There’s another place my partner went to called the White Hotel. That’s where everything is happening. That’s where you should go. It’s in Salford. It used to be a garage, and then it was turned into a club. It’s very derelict, it’s not a glamorous place, but it has so much energy to it, and they have lots of cool people coming to play there. It’s quite impressive.Why do you think Manchester has been so successful at producing such great music over the years?
