It’s 100 degrees in Los Angeles, however Josh Homme is the most popular point in the area.
The Queens of the Stone Age frontman has spent the previous week setting social media ablaze after making his runway debut at Paris Fashion Week in a rushing pinstripe fit, polka-dot neck scarf, and black flip-flops.
Putting on down the catwalk at Ann Demeulemeester’s “Lonesome Paradise” show last weekend break, Homme looked part silver-haired mob boss, part Parisian dandy, part male with absolutely no rate of interest in sensible footwear. On-line sightseers, normally, have been unwell, sick, ill with desire.
“I’m awaiting the backlash of being in people’s feed way too much,” the 53 -year-old Grammy victor states with a wry grin.
But Homme isn’t sweating things, also amidst a record-breaking October heatwave. (“It’s excusable,” he shrugs of the sweltering climates.) After all, he matured in the California desert, where 100 levels was practically sweater climate, as well as the name of a tune he created with Kyuss , the introducing stoner-rock band he co-founded as a teen.
Those molten, fuzz-drenched grooves Homme created in the’ 90 s ended up being a not likely ideas for Stefano Gallici’s spring-summer 2027 collection for Ann Demeulemeester. The Italian designer located his muse someplace along a stretch of Mojave Desert freeway, with Kyuss’s bong-rattling 1994 cd Invite to Sky Valley blasting via the audio speakers.
As it ends up, Homme has been nurturing some style passions of his very own. The ginger Elvis is preparing to launch Homme Building, a shop apparel line including jackets and devices motivated by his very own closet and family background.
It’s all part of what Homme calls his newfound dedication to stating yes to life. After a current discoloration stretch that saw him survive cancer and endure emergency situation surgery, the frontman has developed a restored appetite for trying things. (Homme was also involved in a controversial divorce and guardianship battle with ex-wife Brody Dalle, in which allegations of residential misuse and physical violence were released on both sides.)
That open spirit likewise goes through Perfecth , the upcoming Queens of the Stone Age album, whose deliberately imperfect title hints at a more prone Homme being uncommonly open regarding broken heart, adjustment, and the strange elegance of releasing.
Below, Homme discusses his newly found condition as a net sex object, his fashion awakening, and why he’s finally giving himself permission to be satisfied.
