- Abstract
There may have been a hundred of us downtown, and we all knew each other, collaborated - we were I the people and the times i , the music, the broken-down caverns of downtown New York, all morphing into imagination overdrive. Your works on the societies of the street illuminate how the best of our cultures - in art, music, dance, fashion - evolves from the poor and working-class, the rebel and the criminal, the immigrants, the dreamers. Jean-Paul Gaultier's infamous cone bra and trapunto quilting for Madonna came straight from Larry LeGaspi's pen, who designed Labelle's silver space costumes, then went on to create iconic looks for KISS and George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic. But we could also find overlooked or nascent or sub rosa hooliganism in other genres, such as reggae and R&B. You could definitely say that Labelle were cultural hooligans.
