Vogue sat down with Molly and Erin over afternoon tea at Claridges to debate the instructions, how the duo first met and also the joys of working together with Tim Walker. Read some of the conversation below :
Molly : We‘re speaking with my sister Alice about doing something and who We Might want to carry out it with. So we asked Tim and he said yes which we did not really think he would, but Alice had caused him quite plenty. It was eventually type of crazy that he said yes, and likewise that many of us were very vague with what it is that we wanted to carry out. We‘re like we type of want to carry out a book however we do not know what we wish to do however we just feel as if we have got numerous clothes and thus many interesting people that many of us work by it would simply be nice to document all it. We met up with him a few times and had very calm, casual tea chats at his studio exactly what we wanted to carry out after which booked a studio for two days. I believe all of it happened very quickly. Tim was free and We‘re free and it was eventually like, quick let us do it right, because there have been quite lots of those who We Might have loved to become inside it. To Erin Did Tim ask yourself on the day? No, we asked you before, did not we?
Erin : Yeah, you asked me before, you and Alice. I believe it was eventually over text. It was eventually literally a few days before after which I believe Tim backed it up with another text.
Molly : You turned up, and said : Oh what exactly are we doing?
Erin : I truly did not really know what I‘d been stepping into in the least. But I‘d been just bombarded by tulle and literally wrapped around for two hours and also the challenge was to become as mobile as you can. I‘d been getting drenched during these layers upon layers of colour and I do not think Tim and I had ever really done static portraits since we have known each other, they are greatly alive. Whenever you are given free reign because there aren‘t any rules, that is my type of gig actually.
Molly : Yeah, fun !
Erin : I have always felt this way in regards to you, Molly, since I met you, everything has always been quite last minute and organic and - I believe it is brilliant because everything is so, so... I do not know, it is quite regimented I believe, our industry now.
Molly : Was it in the Serpentine summer party that many of us met?
Erin : It was eventually in the Serpentine, yes.
Molly : And you also were like, I adore your clothes, and I‘d been like strong inhale it is Erin !
Erin : Which I find really funny, because I knew you had been you, however it just took us a moment to reach up for you to tell you just how. I have seen and worn a variety of designers for more than 20 years and usually there are some that stick out for you and a few you reply to. You will find the type of imagination that I prefer to try to work with, so I type of represent the last bit because it were, it is such as the da-daa ! And I assumed, yes, there is a woman whose clothes I might wear in real life.
Molly : That is amazing, is not it?
Erin : It is amazing to me, since it makes my role such a lot easier. It is as a painting, and you also complete it. Your clothes are like paintings.
Molly : We did the Tim book last summer, a very long time ago. So we said, 'Oh, let us have it out soon' after which we thought why are we rushing it, and and then it became slower and slower and slower… Yeah, to ensure that was type of the very first time we hung out.
Erin : Excuse me, no ! Once we did the fitting, in West London, and I met your mum and also your sister and We‘re owning a right old chat, and tried on the few different dresses...
Molly : However that wasn't pre-book?
Erin : Hold on, I assumed I did the show first, after which we did the instructions !
Molly : No, it was eventually book !
Molly : It was eventually book first, definitely, because we did the instructions I believe in June or July, and and then it was like, could we dare ask Erin to become inside the show?
Erin : I‘d been so glad you probably did, I truly was, because I do not really do any shows anymore because there is lots of really brilliant young women doing the shows now. But there is an component of couture within your clothing because it is performance, you can‘t just walk up and down, it is a wasted opportunity. So, I assumed right, let us obtain the sea legs on, and I‘d been delighted once we visited that fitting because the very first thing I saw was…
Molly : My crap studio !
Erin : No ! I‘d been backstage ; biker boots ! And it was eventually kind of old fashioned for myself, in which, the clothes are literally made givenfor my back, and I am so designed to that, it was eventually very such as the haute couture method of working, and I have only ever experienced clothes in which way, even for pret-a-porter actually because I am extremely elongated, many of the time, if this allowed, the clothes were stretched for myself.
Molly : It was eventually the foremost fun.
Erin : You actually enjoyed it, and I adore which you did the rehearsal with us.
Molly : Using the book, it wasn't about collections or seasons or clothes actually. The clothes were just props I suppose. Things were tied on and shoved on and strapped on and stood on surface of or wrapped around ; nothing was worn because it was meant to become.
Erin : It was eventually just a never-ending creation. It wasn't about achieving the last thing, it was eventually about the entire process of doing something and I always really miss that because everybody's obsessed with getting something right whereas with Tim, the joy's with the method, the magic, the nugget in the center, you are working towards something and it is the movement there. And I always look into a photograph like a performance too.
Molly : It was eventually about people's personality. If someone came in wearing interesting clothes, someone was like I like what they are wearing, just shoot them in what they are wearing, to ensure that was type of section of it also.
Erin : Literally, I‘d been using a set of two tights... I believe they had been my tights and everything else from my knees to my hair to my chest to my head was covered.
Molly : You certainly will be the star from the show. It was eventually amazing watching you are doing it.
Erin : I believe it is impossible to not adore having a while with people you adore. Tim and I started working together 22 years back, just that will put it in perspective, so it is quite handy which you were dealing with him putting a book together, I would not dare ask Tim to carry out a book ! So it was eventually lovely just to obtain everybody in one room ! I designed to adore visiting work and never being aware what was visiting happen. I‘d been genuinely really flattered to become asked to become part of it, particularly with all another people you‘ve there. I truly wanted to remain and stalk Camilla Lowther.
Molly : I do know, Camilla was funny.
Erin : Camilla's got one among my favourite faces of time. I am talking about it was eventually the best casting. None the strategies were wallflowers.
Molly : There is a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant... actually it is definitely an outtake, but my guinea pig is inside it, since the book is known as Patty. We‘re like, what could it be called? What could it be called that is like totally ambiguous and no one's visiting know just what the fuck we're referring to?
Erin : Will be your guinea pig called Patty?
Molly : Yeah, therefore the book is known as Patty.
Erin : Did you dedicate it to Patty?
Molly : No, no, it is just called Patty !
