Who is rico mugler

A chat with Kristin Prim, the founder of The Provocateur, the site that publishes letters written expressely by leading women addressing the whole female world.

Here's everything you need to know and let's get ready to the fight with Taylor Swift. The most exclusive parties at the New York Fashion Week. All the best street style spotted at New York Fashion Week. Menswear and womenswear collections will walk together and will be on sale right after the show.

These are the news from Burberry but the evolution is generalized: runway shows are changing. The documentary that celebrates 3. The latest social media initiatives dedicated to the Fashion world. The Perfumes Factory. A fun positive experience. But he seems unmoved by his street rat-to-stardom transformation or the curiosity his appearance provokes. He is polite but utterly impenetrable. Even the most mundane questions does he use special skin cream?

Is there a message behind the Eldritch Abominations-style tattoos, the nose piercings and the 'Kill Me' T-shirt? It's not a mask to stop the world from getting in,' he insists. This is me. His mother Catheryne has described him as an 'unique' child, though whether she means artistic or difficult is not recorded. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour after suffering a blackout when he was 15 years old. The treatment took the best part of a year out of his life. On his 16th birthday, shortly after finishing treatment for the tumour, Genest had a pirate's skull and crossbones tattooed on his arm.

He describes this as his 'teenage rebel' phase and soon after, he and his father Roc fell out and Genest left home. He doesn't say what the row was about, but he moved to Montreal and spent the next five or six years sleeping rough, washing cars, jumping ticket barriers and collecting police fines though no police record for various 'minor' misdemeanours, which Formichetti later settled.

Fellow street dwellers who learned of his brain surgery nicknamed him 'Zombie'. We were living on the streets, sleeping on the roofs, hitchhiking from city to city, from party to party.

At 21 he had his first face tattoo as 'a birthday present to myself. I think it was making a commitment to my lifestyle out on the streets, which seems ironic now. I'm not sure I set out to have a full body suit of tattoos; it just happened that way. I was making a good living on the street cleaning cars. If you look different, even if you shock people, they give you money.

The process of full tattoo coverage was a slow one: 'At first it was just arms and chest, but I had friends with facial tattoos and I wanted it done.

It fitted with my lifestyle. I wasn't apprehensive, I was excited. My buddies thought it cool and I didn't care what anyone else thought. I like to keep to myself, mind my own business.

I am a nice person. If people talk to me with respect, that's great. If you are going to be rude to me, I don't want to know. Despite his apparent determination to give nothing away, Genest says, apropos of nothing: 'Depression is a strong thing It is like trying to prise open a stubborn oyster inside which there could be either a pearl or a grain of sand.

He is happiest talking about his tattoos. The idea is to completely cover my whole body and I should be finished in the next two years, maybe sooner.

When I was on the streets and had to save up the money to have them done, I was driven to get one; now I can have a tattoo when I like, it's harder to get motivated. I've slowed down. He may not like questions, but Genest is a natural in front of a camera. He has a cameo role in the forthcoming Universal Studio movie 47 Ronin , starring Keanu Reeves and directed by Carl Rinsch, due out in November, and is now sought after around the world for photo shoots and appearances. I don't think I've got my head around the idea.

It's all been too much too fast. I would love to work with Lady Gaga again, for sure. I love performance of any kind - daredevil, circus. Asked if he is happy, he replies somewhat elliptically: 'I'm in between places. I have an idea of what I want in my future, I just have to work out how to get there. I have to up my dreams.

I'm blessed to have a very strong group of friends who know me and how it is with me. We've been together through ups and downs. The fame thing hasn't changed anything. I'm also OK with my parents now. We didn't speak for years, but we started talking again when we all started behaving like mature adults. They're happy for me. They know I went through hell and back and now I'm doing something with my life.

We're never going to be close friends, but we're fine. He causes quite a stir. Passengers who at any other time would trample babies to get into the carriage are momentarily pulled up short confronted by this oddball in khaki fatigues, army boots, a studded leather jerkin and a black baseball cap. French youths keep their distance. Well-dressed middle-aged Parisian women pretend not to look at him, but do, turning their backs to raise perfectly plucked eyebrows and whisper.
