Steph Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 there must be a Mika boutique somewhere, if not I volunteer to open one!!!! no but seriously, he mentioned in some interview where he buys his clothes, I have forgotten, but when I've got some time I shall investigate, though when I have some time I have to do something about 'myspace' first, it's still only in its teething stages...no time...too busy here...

daisylou Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 What are you guys like? I've already searched this one out ages ago and posted it. His favourite designer is Walter Van Bierenbonck. His clothes are very bright and wacky- pure MIKA!! Go to WVB's website and have a look. Don`t think he could afford to get everything from there though but then again now he's famous will get them all for free! Paul Smith must give him some too as he is getting heaps of free publicity with using MIKA for a model. That's a point why hasn't he done modellling before? better than being a waiter don`t you think? xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sou Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Erm...maybe it's him actually....but I mean, Mika doesn't dress up like this. The only thing that's going for this Walter dude, is that he's written his name in Arabic on the clothes hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 And there's the interview: http://www.musicglob.com/exclusives/mika-interview/ A little off topic… favorite food? place to shop?Favorite food: Growing up the way that I have I kind of assume that I can hop from country to country with every meal. But I’m a sucker for good French Fries with mayo. Favorite place to shop: There is a shop I am dying to go to in San Francisco called MAC Modern Apparel as they stock one of my favorite designers, Walter Van Bierendonck. It is spelled 'Beirendonck', but that's just a tiny detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Did anyone look at the 2006 mens collection, there was some stuff on there that looked like something Mika would wear. I like the patchwork hoodie he wore to HMV last month and the white hoodie he wore to the Culture Show, the blue T shirt in the Grace Kelly video and his ever present white dress shirt he always seems to be wearing. Oh yeah and the braces too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisylou Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Sorry guys I just can't spell!! But yeah he is the guy and his clothes aren`t as weird as he looks!! I thought MIKA got his clothes from somewhere like GAP as really they are nothing out of the ordinary just bright. In the interview above he also says he wants to go to MAC-Modern Appealing Clothing although MIKA calls it Modern Apparel?? in San Fran. I thought this shop was for hip hop fans obviously I am wrong or there is another side to MIKA we haven't seen yet. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula.pop Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Walter Van Beirendonck (Brecht, 4 February 1957) is a Flemish fashion designer. He graduated in 1980 from the Royal Arts Academy[1] in Antwerp. Together with Dirk Van Saene, Dries van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Marina Yee (graduated in 1981) and Dirk Bikkembergs (graduated in 1982) he became known as the Antwerp Six. Since 1983, he issues his own collections. They're inspired by the visual arts and literature, but also by nature and ethnic influences. His unusual color combinations and a strong graphic influence are characteristic for his collections. In 1997, he designed the costumes for the U2 "Popmart Tour". In 1999, he was awarded the honorary title of "Cultural Ambassador of Flanders". In 2001, he was the curator for the exhibition Mode 2001 Landed-Geland in Antwerp.
