You know what the biggest trend for 2008 is going to be?
The grand gesture. That's right. Big emotions are back. Tunes are made to be belted out with great force. Bring back Whitney!
And as grand gestures go, it doesn't get any grander than The O, aka Theo Adams. His performance is all glitter, Welschmertz (with a huge W), passion and big, big tunes. Forget crying in the rain. Cry on stage, with a massive soundtrack and in full make-up, preferably ripping off your clothes along the way.
Before he performed at Tate, before the big piece in i-D magazine, before he was commissioned to work on the (next) Dazed & Confused "alternative" issue, I was lucky enough to be on the catwalk with him at last year's SuperSuper show to take pictures. Enjoy his blog and press play for the soundtrack to one his show at the Tate, a collaboration with !WOWOW! (of the Gareth Pugh catwalk soundtracks).
