‘What I tried to put into the Kilburns was the secretive aspect of
sartorial elegance,’ said Ian. ‘If you talk about it, you spoil it. As Oscar
Wilde said, “The greatest stylist is the one that remains the most obscure.”
Once it’s public knowledge, it’s not stylish any more. I knew the New York
Dolls a little bit. We’d been to their gigs at Bibas. I read somewhere that
their audience used to wear safety pins through their nipples. I thought, “Lighten
Up!” So I unwound the safety pin and put it through my lughole. Sartorially, I’m
not a claimer, but I would say that I must have worn the first razor blade.’
