What have you been wearing on stage? Anything new you particularly like?
Gavin Turek (@gavinturek)
My stage look has really evolved since I started performing. I used to wear only these handmade, fringe outfits that were so comfortable and easy but naturally grew out of that look. Since then I've been experimenting with dance-ready looks, bodysuits, heels, boots and I tend to land on looks that feel a bit theatrical mixed with 90s club kid. Every look for this tour is super comfortable and easy to move in which is very important for me.

Do you collaborate with anyone?

My creative director, Hana Ardelean, helps me style and source every element of the look, from hats and earrings to the boots, tights, undergarments...she advises on it all and creates gorgeous looks that bring out the diva in me.

Do you make any special pieces?
gavin
We used to design and hire a seamstress to make everything I wore but it got super expensive lol. Now we find pieces we love and then customize. Whether it's adding rhinestones, feathers or a crystal headpiece, we always try to elevate the stage look with a personal touch.

Where do you find stage clothes? Any fav shops?
gavin
Lately, we've been sourcing the majority of the looks from vintage stores and just good old online shopping! We scour the internet daily 🧐 for both new and vintage pieces.

Where does your sense of style come from? Any special sources of inspiration?
gavin
I love the divas that came before me so I find a ton of inspiration from Diana Ross, Donna Summer and Grace Jones. They each had a unique stage style that was timeless. I also am obsessed with Roisin Murphy in every way. Her fearless, bold, theatrical style is what I always have in my mind as inspiration. Constantly thinking, "what would Roisin wear?" My creative director graciously guides and influences my personal style as well.
