Rad Hourani SS 09: PH: Pablo Ravazzani:

I've known photographer Pablo Ravazzani for quite a few years now. We used to work together a lot before kind of going off on our own tangents. When I first met Pablo he was the height of NYC cosmopolitan glamor . Multi-lingual with a steady string of very posh, very blonde Upper East Side girlfriends, trips off to Mustique and Punta D'ell Este and then that odd unplaceable accent. I half expected each day to see him trotting out of his loft on a polo horse. But all that superficiality aside I've always liked his photographs. So clean, so cold, so.... unwelcoming of any hint of sentimentality or comfort. You can see all that in his backstage pics of the Rad Hourani SS 09 experience. TI caught with Mr Ravazzani to try to get inside his world/view. This is what he had to say for himself.

Christian from Basic shone in his debut for Rad SS 09

"To keep the tedium of casting interesting I usually make up a kind of movie in my mind to help sharpen the filter. Last season I played Aphex Twins "Logon Rock Witch" all session long in my head as my kind of dream soundtrack that all the witch girls were gliding to. This season its Grace Jones' "Walking In The Rain" to which I'm dreaming of an army of sleek, shiny, aerodynamic people all angular and machine-like, like cyborgs but deeply deeply individualized. Boys and girls...the same feeling with different complexions...shifting features....That's my fiction for Rad SS09."
