I’ll never forget when I first heard the music of Prince. It was 1996 years, I was 12 years old and my dad brought home a three-CD album “Emancipation.” The house resounded with the sounds of “Betcha by Golly Wow!”, “The Holy River” and “The Love We Make.” Prince was not then Prince just “an artist known once as Prince.” He wore strange clothes that resembled a Japanese kimono, the Indian sari or robes of Buddhist monks. the prince then became my king. it will remain even after the untimely death. Born in 1958, Prince Rogers Nelson, the son of musician John L. Nelson and jazz singer Mattie Della Shaw, combined punk with pop and funk with rock, while others sang disco. He wore flounces, neon tuxedos and long curls, while others dressed in black. alternately dressed in theatrical costumes and undressed naked. equally eccentrically dressed concerts, big galas and privately. He had been a boy, a handsome man, and even a beautiful woman. bent the boundaries genderu, kitsch, art. He played the guitar like a virtuoso, not to mention dozens of other instruments, which ruled without much difficulty. He sang the voices of at least a few singers, wrote the hits and songs which are beyond the species, still sounding if they formed only a month ago. Seven-time Grammy Award winner, winner of an Oscar for “Purple Rain”, an artist who has sold a hundred million albums, do everything myself – from the text by the music of the arrangement. He also created his image inextricably interwoven with the musical phase, in which happen to be located, although at the beginning of his career trying to convince journalists that “simply imposes upon himself what is at hand.” In the days after the third “For You” and “Prince” album “Dirty Mind” in 1981 wore body, women’s bells from the high state, and bandanas. In 1985, when the released the hit “Purple Rain”, from which it is called today “The Purple One,” the suit encrusted with pearls, pink boa, Victorian collars and romantic curls. Album “Lovesexy” 1988 promoted dressed in polka dots and short tops, revealing muscular stomach.
at a concert in 1993, he showed up in a police cap, with his face covered. This look was copied by many years later, Beyoncé.
in the 90s, frequented androginicznym ephebe in lace, at the beginning of century – dandy in a bowler hat, and in 2005 a white priest to hand the People’s Choice Awards, and then demonstrated the love of purple, its source of power, in the final American “Idol” in 2006. In 2011, he founded cekinowy suit (then also hath from the scene Kim Kardashian, because bad dancing, for which it is difficult not to like him …), in the past few years, once again fell in love with digital prints, the black roots back in 2014 during a performance at The Hollywood Palladium and appearing in an episode of “New Girl.”
As a gold phoenix reborn from the ashes at the American Music Awards a year ago. It was one of the last public appearances filigree artist. Being out of this world, who came down to earth too short 57 years, to open the eyes of their fans. It was he who inspired designers, and not they him. I never took a permanent position with any brand, the costumes were custom-made, usually at odds with current trends. It was the fashion Flaneur, the adventurer, the eternal wanderer, a model of the French nobility of the eighteenth century wore heels ( “Not that I measure 158 centimeters, just because women love high heels,” he said), like the ancient Egyptians drew black lines on the eyelids as a British gentleman suits your treated like holiness – regardless of whether they sparkled with glitter, neon signs screaming and surprised extensive form. Only now, after his death, we have a chance to touch the mystery of the Prince. When you go big, like Michael Jackson, David Bowie, and now he goes out for a moment the sun. In homage to the boundless creativity, courage in being different, dedication in the pursuit of excellence. Echoes of sounds, songs and styling Prince can be heard on CDs Justin Bieber in music videos for Kanye West and collections Donatella Versace. The followers do not cease to imitate him precisely because he never was not a follower.
