Janelle meets Chanel

Heute Abend beim c/o pop Festival im Tanzbrunnen und gerade eben noch mit Karl Lagerfeld in der Badewanne. Das amerikanische W Magazin hat in seiner Juli-Ausgabe Designer nach ihrer musikalischen Muse gefragt und das ist dabei herausgekommen:

Janelle Monae & Karl Lagerfeld

Monáe’s music may be a baroque blend of funk, soul, jazz, orchestral symphonies, and psychedelic rock, but when it comes to her wardrobe, the Atlanta-based artist likes to keep it simple: black and white tuxedos paired with a pompadour. “It’s transcendent—it never goes out of style,” she explains, adding that she prefers for the color to come out in her performance. And to see her standing beside Lagerfeld, the two of them dressed like twins in their signature starched suits, it is clear she has found a kindred spirit. “We liked each other from the first second on,” says the designer. “Not just because of our style, but also the name: Janelle rhymes with Chanel, no?”

c/o pop has been taking place anually in Cologne since 2004. The programme of the festival is dedicated to contemporary pop culture in all its variety. Parallel to the festival, c/o pop hosts a business forum known as the c/o pop Convention which is directed to professionals from the creative industries. The convention focusses on networking between the different creative industries. Another major c/o pop project is »Europareise«, a network of 70 festivals which helps to connect the festival scene from Europe and beyond. 2010 c/o pop saw over 30,000 visitors and 1,200 professionals from 30 countries.
