A really great collaboration
has got to be like total love
It's got to be no-bounds, risk-all, give-all,
and arrive at a completely new place
and make the world new
for both of you and everybody else
Being in love with someone―
for me, that's a collaboration of love,
and I think it's probably the perfect example of collaboration
Collaboration, when it's a love affair,
you don't have edges. You never stop
There's never a point where you think,
"Oh, what am I going to say next?" - Yeah
You can't always give, give, give,
and you can't always take, take, take
It has to be about the balance of the two things
You need your own court,
but that court is to collaborate with you
My dad was a rugby player
He always said to me, "You have to work as a team"
You know, one person can't win a rugby match
You need a whole team to be able to win it
[Harlech] I think the teamwork is really important
[Anderson] If you rush something or you rush a collaboration,
then you're screwed,
and I think fashion has ultimately
got to this point where we are rushed;
it's a massively rushed system
How long does it take to have a great idea?
A nanosecond, actually, but you have to have that space
for that idea to alight
[Anderson] Collaborating―I feel like
I collaborate with my whole team
When I'm sitting in a studio,
I want to know what everyone in my studio is thinking.
Then you start to compress it, decompress it,
see what you do with it
[Harlech] And then that becomes something really exciting
[Anderson] Yeah, like a new dialogue
[Harlech] So I think the arch collaborator—
well, you've just seen a rabbit—
is Michel Gaubert
He had done the music for the last collection,
and we'd never met - And it was so brilliant, the music gave it
'cause that's what Michel does,
is he gives that other dimension
Yeah, he gives that other layer,
'cause I always think, in the collection, you have...
- Worlds. - ...the whole thing,
and then the music brings one layer, the makeup brings another,
then the hair brings another -And the girls bring another
And the way the girls move brings another
I always think with someone,
when you collaborate with them,
they can pick up a vibe without you having to over-explain
There is, for me, a handful of people
that make this industry work - Really, it's about finding the poets
The poets are the ones who find the song,
not only literally like in Michel's case,
but it could be somebody who develops your textiles
who is a poet in cloth
I think it's the poets who find the lyricism
They're the ones who really get it right,
and we just have to keep our poets close - Yeah
