John Turturro

Last night rag & bone partnered with the Tribeca Film Festival on the world premiere of Hair, a ‘rag & bone Films’ production directed by John Turturro. The premiere, which took place at Regal Battery Park Cinemas, was followed by an intimate dinner at Locanda Verde in New York City co-hosted by Vanity Fair.

Tell me about this collaboration with Rag & Bone and how it came about.

John Turturro:  I did a photo shoot for them, and I liked their clothes, and Bobby likes their clothes. They showed me the little film they made with Baryshnikov and Lil Buck, which I loved. They asked me to do something for them. We threw around a lot of ideas, and we did something about hair. I think that hair goes with clothes well, and I got to do it with my friend Bobby, and you’ll see.

Was it fun to improv this project?

John Turturro: We kind of had a little bit of an idea of what to do, and we improvised off of that. I kind of just was the straight man and tried to keep Bobby on course.

Congratulations on teaming up with Tribeca. Tell me a little bit about how this collaboration came about?

Marcus Wainwright: It was sort of an accident. We’ve been huge fans of John’s and asked him if he wanted to make a film for us. That’s what we asked, and we just said we’d supply the clothes, so this is what happened.

Speak about collaborating with John.

Marcus Wainwright: It was pretty amazing. I come as a huge fan. He’s a true original, so it was very flattering that he’d even consider doing it. It was an amazing experience, pretty good.

As a fashion creative, how does film inspire you?

Marcus Wainwright: I mean, how does it not inspire you?

Future collaborations for film and Rag & Bone?

Marcus Wainwright: Yeah, happening. I don’t know what they’re going to be, but we’re working on it.
