What’s the concept behind the Swami Safari project? ‘The basic concept is exploring this Swami character we’ve created, who’s running around on his inner safari in the ether. During his safari he interacts and meets all kinds of gods, crazy creatures and fantastical people and places taken out of ancient mythology. A new tee is designed and produced each month in association with a specific artist’. How does this fit in with everything else that you’re doing? ‘This is the first phase of Project Marrakech, an online exploration and transition of real world fashion into a digital space. Swami Safari is a side project for the etc. label but its also part of a totally different direction. Currently the fashion industry is very backwards, very archaic, very traditional. We’re trying to break that model and the inflexibility behind it by going online and direct to our (potential) customers’. What are the core themes inspiring Swami Safari each month? ‘The main theme is mythology, then ancient history and culture. The underlying creative themes are obviously the story telling aspect and James’ artistic style too. But purely in terms of monthly inspiration I’d also consider contemporary and ancient religions, spirituality and all things airy and fairy that are difficult to define. The things science can’t measure or comprehend - which mean that it avoids definition and one-minded interpretation’. We’ve got three Swami Safari tees to give away. Leave a comment telling us which mythology you’d like to see explored by the Swami in an upcoming month and we’ll announce the three lucky winners with a comment on Friday Dec 22.
