Hi, I'm Rina Sawayama and we are on set for the cover shoot for the August issue of Who, What, Where
0:30
My music in three words would be eclectic, maximal and emotional
0:40
My first big break as an artist, probably doing Jimmy Fallon performance for the first time
0:48
felt like a big break to me. But yeah, because it happened during lockdown
0:54
I still don't really have a real grasp of how well it's gone, I guess
0:58
I don't know. So I think this one's one of my favourite pieces, it's by Vivian Westwood and it's hand
1:09
painted so it's so beautiful, I love the different colours on there and the colour story and
1:16
I also really into Victorian milkmaid vibes I think it looks really cool I actually used something like this in one of my videos that coming up So yeah love it so cool
1:31
The fashion direction and the set design complement each other because the set design is super rich, so the fashion is kind of
1:38
bringing out different elements of that. There's moments where it's kind of more paired back
1:42
and the set can really speak for itself and then there's gonna be moments where it's both very loud
1:46
just so there's kind of dynamism throughout the shoot. My favourite collaboration I've done with another artist is hands down Elton John
1:57
Everything about it was epic and so unexpected. He was so open to taking suggestions and didn't have an ego
2:05
just was so part of the creative process and just kept asking
2:09
Rina, do you like that? I'm just going to try it like this, do you think this is a good idea? And it was so wonderful and very creative and collaborative
