Not literally, but it's nothing new. He says that luxury to him is not a nice watch or fashion, but that the true luxury is freedom. And then the fashion vs style story and mixing cheap and expensive clothes that he's told a zillion times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alireine Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Here you are: "Interviewer: What is you definition of luxury? What is YOUR luxury? MIKA: I think that the biggest luxury is freedom. It's simple. The biggest luxury is freedom... It's the luxury that really... that changes life. Because a watch, well, it's ok. A beautiful coat, pff [*not very convinced face here* ], yes, it's good. But will it change your life? I'm not sure of it. The luxury it's the freedom. It's the freedom in what we can do in life, in art, in everything... And that, for me, it's absolutely essential. Every time, when we think about luxury, we think about fashion, we think about what is "in" [fashionable?]. But actually, it's not the definition of luxury for me, not at all. When I'm thinking about luxury, I don't think about fashion. And also, in my opinion, we should always keep in mind that we can look at someone, but we can't know if the price of the scarf is 10 euros, or 500, or 5000. It's a mix of many things: very expensive shoes, trousers that cost 20 euros or vintage... Everything mixed like that, we absolutely loose the idea of the value [money here ] of things, we only look at aesthetic and style, and at the person who is wearing the clothes. What it represents. That is what luxury is, having the freedom to express ourselves when we want, and in the way we want."

Louiza Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 VIDEO "Le plus grand luxe, c'est la liberté" [YOUTUBE]druthMOnUQ0[/YOUTUBE] could anyone translate please ? What can I add other than well said!! He's absolutely right, freedom is indeed one of the most important things. Life is empty and meaningless without it. Also very much agree with what he said at the end of this interview! Regardless of wether you're wearing expensive or cheap clothes it's the style and the aesthetic result that counts.

Kezza Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Many thanks for the translation. Perhaps he's said it "a zillion times before" but I for one haven't heard it. I'm guessing other fans, especially new ones, haven't necessarily... so thank you on their behalf too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know that the Kukulakuki is already sold out as it was limited edition, but the kukulakuku was the normal version right? Maybe as it was a Mika project, they also have a limited edition for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si tratta di Mika, che sarà giudice nella sezione “artwork”, novità assoluta di quest’anno sponsorizzata dalla Swatch, che ha chiesto ai concorrenti proprio di reinventare il mondo del celebre marchio di orologi da polso. In questa categoria è in gara l’unica italiana finalista (si tratta della goriziana Virginia Burlina, laureata all’Accademia di Anversa). Mika e sua sorella Yasmine, che insieme creano opere d’arte e progetti già da dieci anni, di recente hanno disegnato gli “Swatch Art Specials”: «I disegni sono un mix di motivi tribali tunisini, marocchini e altri che si trovano in Africa e Oceania», spiega Mika. «Le teste delle maschere tribali sono un insieme di origini; è difficile individuare quello che potrebbero essere. Ma questo non è certo un problema, perché hanno la stessa funzione: sono lì per suscitare curiosità e stupore. Questo, in effetti, è stata una delle componenti principali della nostra idea. Abbiamo voluto che l’oggetto avesse richiami leggermente mistici». Mika parla con grande entusiasmo della sua avventura con la Swatch: «Non ho esperienza di design, quindi per me è stato molto divertente concepire oggetti, anche perché mi piace collaborare con le persone. Mi sono proprio divertito in questo processo creativo, in fondo è esattamente come fare musica. Non vi vedo nessuna differenz».
