The MTV.com.au 'Fashion File' is all about celebrity style inspiration. We talk to the stars about our favourite outfits: why they chose them, why they love them and how it made them feel.
Semi Precious Weapons frontman Justin Tranter lives, breathes and inspires fashion.
The glam rockstar, whose band is currently touring Oz with his BFF and queen of style, Lady Gaga, tells MTV how he creates such unique looks.
Alice And Olivia Show – Fashion Week
“Ooooh! Yes! This summer I was watching Basic Instinct and realized that Mz Stone only wears the colour nude, it changed my life. So I'm working nude crushed velvet tights by Jimmy Knehans, a nude leather jacket from About Glamour in Brooklyn and custom gold sparkle heels by Stuart Wietzman. And most importantly there is peach in my brow bone. VERY early 90's!”
H&M And Estelle Fashion Against Aids Collection
“Oh this outfit is a disaster in the best way possible! Hahaha! Smoke Red Stuart Wietzman Heels, Tiger tights, and a awesome jacket by Tommy Cole. The jacket is actually a pair of pants turned into a jacket. Genius.”
Cocoperez.com Launch Party
“I was obviously feeling very subtle in the look. Sometimes you just wear a gold metal body suit by LaQuan Smith, with knee high silver Stuart Wietzman heels. I've been wearing LaQuan's body suits for about a year now. Now he has blown up, the bitch is in Vogue, Rihanna wore the same body suit in the Rude Boy video, LaQuan is the future.”
MTV: Justin, who influences your style?
Justin: I’m inspired by the movie Basic Instinct, Marilyn Monroe, our friends aka The Precious Empire, Tommy Cole and Roy Caires got me in heels and tights. Our friend Jimmy Knehans makes and finds a lot of my clothes as well.
MTV: You’re currently touring Oz with your close friend Lady Gaga. Can you take any credit for influences her fashion choices?
Justin: I don't think so. I mean, fabulous friends inspire each other, but besides that no.
MTV: Which celebrities do you think have a great look, and who really need to sack their stylist?
Justin: Sharon Stone is flawless, GaGa is a vision, Lil Kim is amazing always, and Jay Z is sharp hell. There is no need to talk trash about anyone, the people who look like shit make us look better.
MTV: You've created a jewellery line. Will a clothing line be next? Justin: I'm gonna stick to jewels and accessories. I'd like to stay honest to what I do well. So many celebs start throwing their names on everything from tampons to salad dressing just because they can. I'm gonna stick to accessories.
Semi Precious Weapon’s debut album ‘You Love You’ is out in June and their EP 'Semi Precious Weapons' is available for download now!
