Mike D was recently commissioned by fashion label Kenzo to create a soundtrack for their Spring/Summer 2014 collection show. It’s not your normal catwalk music to say the least.
Mike D explains his inspiration via Kenzo:
Talking to [Kenzo creative director] Humberto [Leon], I wanted to honor what he was inspired by: American hardcore like Black Flag, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks but then I wanted to update it, or maybe couldn’t help put to update it… I have been listening to a fair amount of trap records and I think that found it’s way into things on this for sure… I definitely shared Humberto’s passion for American Punk and that raw energy and I think that informs the collection and the soundtrack I did.
