I was just coming to rave about his Man About Town editorial, and now I see the equally impressive performance by him in the Dior Homme lookbook. He's on a roll.
It's Matthew Bell! We do a happy dance, politely demand a hug and get on with the interview. How was the show?
The Richard Nicoll show was really good, and the show space was cool as well. I feel like I should say something about the clothing…the clothing was nice man, it was cool. It was like kind of urban… Ben, how would you describe the collection? It was kind of urban, but like…
Ben: Shiny
Matthew: Yeah, but then like leathers and ****.
Ben: Yeah, it was cool.
Matthew: Yeah it was nice, wasn’t it?
Ben: Yeah it was really nice, yeah. My favourite.
Matthew: Yeah, it was good.
Yeah?
Matthew: Can we do a joint interview?
Yeah if you want, and then we'll do another one with Ben to make sure he has a chance to shine on his own as well.
Matthew: You know when someone asks you ‘tell me three random things about yourself’ a hundred times?
Ben: We’ll say three random things about each other.
Yeah, do that!
Matthew: Kay, me and Ben are in a boy band called K-Y-E boys…Kye boys.
That sounds cool, is that the music that you were telling me about?
Ben: Haha, yeah. That’s the one. Those are the three facts – K, Y, and E.
Wonderful. We’re asking about summer because I had to think of a theme.
Matthew: Summer is a good one.
What’s the greatest thing about summer?
Matthew: The greatest thing about summer is……..fashion week, darling. No, the greatest thing about summer is….
Ben: Spending time in the sun
Matthew: We’ve got another; we’re in another one. We’ve formed a rap crew. Two man deep rap crew – M-dog and B-smiz.
I really hope that this is true.
Matthew: This is true, it’s all true.
