I dropped out of art school in 1980 to go work with Lindsay Kemp, who I had heard of because he had worked with David Bowie through the Ziggy Stardust phase. I met him, approached him and said I wanted to work with him.
He said, “If you want to work in film, you have to start at the bottom and learn.” He suggested I do pop videos for a year. We went to a little office in Soho where he introduced me to Sarah Radcliffe and Tim Bevan who were film producers. They took me on board and I did pop videos for a year. The first one was directed by Derek and he used all the costumes from my show that he had come to see.
I just went down to Brick Lane Market and found second-hand things and we made everything ourselves. We shot the whole film in an old warehouse in Limehouse that was unheated and not soundproofed. I got in touch with Ian Wallace, a tailor who had made my suits for the Academy Awards. He had made the toile, the pattern that you make before cutting into the fabric. . I asked if he still had it, and he did. I went to try it on and it fit well. I decided to wear the toile as is. I could take sharpies and fill it with signatures. Then, I could sell the suit for the Jarman campaign.
