CLUB COUTURE — ISSUE 04:
(Edouard NG)
[France-Germany]
CLUB COUTURE is a new Apparel Music feature dedicated to emerging talents working across fashion, art, beauty, image making. Designers, stylists, artists and creatives whose practice sits somewhere between craft, culture and personal expression. The project starts from Milan, telling the stories of our local community and the people shaping it, but always with an open gaze outward. Each issue introduces new artists through short portraits. No hype, just process, taste and perspective.

Edouard NG Q&A
Edouard NG, French-German artist, weaves contemporary art, fashion, and a camouflage style that's familiar yet elusive. We met him right during the city’s Olympic buzz at his exhibition “8000” inside the Chiesa di San Vittore e 40 Martiri in Milan. Here’s what he told us about himself in this short issue of Club Couture.
-Where are you from?
- I am French-German, and I now live between Los Angeles and Milan.
-What kind of background did you grow up with?
- I grew up in a religious and sporty background.
-How did you end up choosing art and fashion?
- This came up naturally along the way by eliminating other options.
-How would you describe your style or your work?
- My work looks like camouflage: familiar, yet hopefully not.
-What are your main artistic influences?
- My main influences are the ones everyone else is influenced by in today’s Western world: performance, relentlessness, and hope.
-What were your expectations of Milan before moving here? And the pros and cons of the city...
- I expected nothing. I am neither astonished nor disappointed so far. Pros are that is close to the water and the mountains. Cons, the pollution, like in L.A.
