\nPORT MAGAZINE January 14th 2013<\/p>\n

David Hellqvist: What\u2019s your relationship like with Jil Sander?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Sanchez: We\u2019ve worked together for 20 years so there is a long history between us.<\/p>\n

David: What do you think about when making a soundtrack?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: That it should fit with the brand. My music works with a minimal aesthetic, it sits alongside the story of the collection. For this sesaon we looked at David Bowie\u2019s come back; he\u2019s got an album out soon and there\u2019s the V&A expo in March. He\u2019s 66 years and making a come back, it\u2019s incredible. For me, that was the starting point and the inspiration.<\/p>\n

David: But it isn\u2019t Bowie singing!<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: No, Bowie made me think of Scott Walker [The Walker Brothers], he\u2019s also an amazing artist, and in the end I used his vocals. I remember when Bowie did his Outside record and Scott released the Tilt album at the same time. There is something similar about their voices. Scott Walker is often used for films but not for fashion \u2013 maybe they think [his music] is too sad? I thought it was a good idea to use him, so I proposed it to Jil and she liked it.<\/p>\n

David: What did you mix it with?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: A minimal aesthetic and electronic sound, with lots of bass. I like it to have a rounded sound, and a pure feeling. It adds quality, like the soundsystem in a beautiful car\u2026<\/p>\n

David: What\u2019s the process behind developing a show soundtrack?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: I don\u2019t really need to see the clothes. With Jill, I know her and the style really well. It\u2019s like a conversation; it starts with us just talking, and the soundtrack comes from that. It\u2019s an easy process, each season is a development \u2013 it\u2019s like an ongoing story. We could put each soundtrack after the other and they would make sense.<\/p>\n

David: Did you work with Raf Simons at Jil Sander as well?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: No, I didn\u2019t \u2013 I had a seven year break from the label! It\u2019s great to be back, it feels like I\u2019m home. I started working with Jil in 1991. We met through her Art Director at the time, he brought me in and it\u2019s been ongoing ever since.<\/p>\n

David: What is about the brand and Jil\u2019s style that you like?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: It\u2019s very similar to what I like myself. Even 20 years ago when we met, I felt a connection to her clothes. I understand what she does.<\/p>\n

David: What pieces in the AW13 collection did you like?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: The suits and coats are amazing \u2013 the quality is great!<\/p>\n

David: What should a good soundtrack do?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: It should tell you about the designer, and who he or she is. The worst thing is a bad collection that has a great soundtrack. I prefer if they hate everything!<\/p>\n

David: What shows do you work on?<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric: I do quite a few, and the ones I work with I\u2019ve done for many years: I work with Jil Sander, Prada and Calvin Klein in Milan and Ann Demulemeester in Paris. I also work with quite a few womenswear designers.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
