Will ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Aug 1998 00:47:59 +0100 From: Bahi Para Subject: [AVALON] Antony Price More Ferry-related stuff from the Sunday Times last weekend, which carried an interview with Antony Price. I can scan this and send out copies if there's enough demand. (5 pp inc pictures.) This is the first time I read that he was involved with the cover of Lou Reed's Transformer album. The model was Gayla Mitchell "whom he dressed in flowing Ossie Clark chiffon and towering Manolo Blahnick heels". Surprised to read that he currently can't afford an assistant, so answers the phone himself to take his own orders and that a customer often has to "back" her dress, because he can't get bank loans. Good, though, to hear that he "wouldn't pay Calvin Klein one and a half pence for anything of his" and that he's still hoping for that Versace deal. "I tell you, God arrives in the shape of an Italian factory, and if he doesn't, you're f***ed." Lesley White, who wrote the article, quotes Ferry several times. Bryan and Antony, she says, speak at least once a week. Ferry on Price: "I think the problem has been that he's has come up with looks way ahead of their time and moved onto the next thing, leaving others to exploit the ideas and make money." "[He's] quite mad - but then the best people are." Recalling his first meeting with Price at the Speakeasy club: "He had long hennaed hair, high-heeled boots and what I called his little Tweedledum jacket. He was like a modern Oscar Wilde, amazing, and I asked him to help me with the first album cover. He came up with the idea of all these girls shot in exotic locations." "If you invite him for the weekend, he spends all his time outside, with the birds, in nature. He's very down-to-earth and northern in that way." Price mentions (gossip, gossip :-) that Bryan might be buying something in Scotland, and that the Ferrys are still madly in love and jealous of each other. Lesley White: There is more to Antony Price than an ageing fashion queen with a waspish repartie, a kind heart and a lumbering diappointment. More even than the gifted artisan with the meaty labourer's hands. There is also a bullish tenacity that refuses to sink gently into oblivion while he is still the best, and an ability that will not stop proclaiming its worth till we get the point. "I've hung on this long waiting. I've got to get something going." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Aug 98 20:57:00 PDT From: "Theresa" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Antony Price i looked all over the sunday times website and couldn't find this article... - ---------- > More Ferry-related stuff from the Sunday Times last weekend, which carried > an interview with Antony Price.
