Carri Munden, the one-woman wonder behind Cassette Playa, lets us in on an exclusive preview of her new collection with JuJu shoes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Casette<\/a><\/center>We can only dream of being a character in a Casette Playa show. Carri Munden’s bold visions pretty much defines the digital generation we live in: using interactive installation, animation, and augmented reality, she creates a hybrid world of her own.<\/p>\n

The self-declared paganist’s powers have garnered her four MAN shows and a nomination for best menswear designer in 2007 alongside Alexander McQueen and Christopher Bailey. When Carri isn\u2019t busy transforming celebrities like Rihanna and M.I.A. into exotic avatars – complete with horns and headdress – this modest, well-spoken blonde eschews the spotlight, and prefers to visit the British Museum. We spoke to her about her latest collaboration with JuJu shoes.<\/p>\n

Carrie, can you tell us a bit about your latest collaboration? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always been a Juju fan. I got a silver glittery pair when I was 13: I still live in them. I was happy to find that they still made them, since its important to me to support UK manufacturers and industries. So I tracked Juju down to see if they wanted to do a collaboration, and they did.<\/p>\n

As if they would say no to you. What do your custom designs look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did a pink and a blue pair, glittery, with 3D hearts and an animal print on the inner decals – the first time Juju did that.<\/p>\n

What kind of girl do you want to see wearing your clothes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone tough, strong, who knows herself, and has confidence. But she can be geeky and nerdy too. That\u2019s hot.<\/p>\n

What influences can you name?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Subcultures, mostly. Any tribes, whether a group of sports players or in the Amazon. I don\u2019t watch TV except nature programmes to chill out. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was younger, so I use many animal prints. I’m also a paganist; I celebrate all the solstices. The 90s skater scene – the pastels, fluorescents, that blue sky that you get in California… I was actually there when Kurt Cobain died.<\/p>\n

Are you also into grunge?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I grew up on the south coast, so I’m more into rave, jungle, and UK garage. I’m also a fan of hard-core and metal bands like Black Norwegian.<\/p>\n

Any sources of inspiration that might surprise us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whenever I’ve free time, I go to the British Museum.They have amazing Aztec, Mayan, and Egyptian sections. The building itself is also amazing. And it’s free!<\/p>\n

\"CassettePlaya<\/a><\/p>\n

What are you working on at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u00b4ve taken two seasons off to do small collaborations, like with Juju. I\u00b4m working on the identity of my womenswear collection. It’s still going to be strong, playful – and a bit slutty.<\/p>\n

Speaking of slutty, why are your female models often nude, like in the girl-on-girl action in the Power Turbo video? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is meant to be very empowering. When I visited the Juju factory in Northampton, there was an old framed Sun shoot in the bathroom that was really sexy, and I wanted to recreate that. I didn’t use typical girl models; they’d all had their boobs out before. I didn’t consider a traditional male gaze. I imagined them more as a tribe of Amazons, maybe getting a bit girl-on-girl, but if anyone tried to mess with them, they wouldn’t hesitate to kick their ass. I hope no one considers it degrading.<\/p>\n

Is there a political statement behind your brand, like Vivienne Westwood’s?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I first started, I looked into making sure that none of my T-shirts were made in sweatshops. But I think if you\u2019re going to do it, you have to do it all the way. All levels of production must be self-sustainable. I dream of it becoming economically possible for me one day. I admire women like Vivienne Westwood, who prove that you can be both a successful designer and businesswoman.<\/p>\n

What would be your dream collaboration?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would love to design my own videogame one day.<\/p>\n

Can we expect more boobs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely more boobies. My mum says I\u00b4m obsessed with them.<\/p>\n

Well, you know what they say about how your mother\u2019s always right…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, unfortunately it\u2019s true. She is always right.<\/p>\n

Casette Playa for JuJu shoes will be available exclusively at Machine-A<\/a> store in London on 20th May 2013. cassetteplaya.com<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
