Dazed Digital has an extended interview the inimitable David LaChapelle where he talks about his relationship with Andy Warhol, doing “some of the cheesiest fucking advertising you could ever possibly do” and walking away from the fashion glossies:
I thought, I’ve got nothing left to say in the arena of fashion. As I got older, my themes became more difficult for magazines to digest, and it just seemed like the time to quit… I was confronted with the idea that my themes were not palatable for fashion magazines any longer.
We’re actually surprised he was able to get away with as much as he got away with for as long as he got away with it.
