It was such a delight to catch up with a true visionary , someone whose iconic work is revered, marvelled at and very often imitated. Even though his medium is visual everything he does begins with music whether it be through his work with artists including Kylie , Garbage, Britney Spears and The Killers . Here we talk about his roots in Manchester , how the lure of Vivienne Westwood brought him to the bright lights of Soho and the moments that changed everything for him. Also the friends and mentors that helped along the way including the much missed and loved genius Alan Macdonald. So its so wonderful to welcome creative director, designer , film director and my wonderful friend for over 25 years, William Baker.
Just to note - this episode was recorded during the renovation of his new shop https://www.instagram.com/25londonroad/ so please excuse some sound anomalies, people were sanding and knocking walls down. Also it was recorded before we sadly lost Dame Vivienne Westwood who had such a huge impact on Will's life and creative journey , she is very much missed.
