Techno don embraces eyeliner
07/07/2004
Techno trendsetter Dave Clarke revealed he’s started wearing makeup, in the last but one (ever) issue of Jockey Slut, declaring ‘I’d like to turn myself into a show’.
The newly metrosexual jock stressed he’s not just wearing any old cheap kohl, however, and insisted he prefers only top of the range designer eyeliner.
“It’s Sisley, it’s totally organic and botanical,” said Dave.
“My ex-wife used to wear Sisley and for ages and ages I wanted to have fun on stage, so eventually I bought some about four months ago.”
Clarke’s new cosmetic infatuation coincided with Jean Paul Gaultier’s launch of a whole range of makeup for men, targeted at ‘modern-day dandies who travel, drive bikes and cars or pilot planes and like to have fun’ (Clarke both drives fast cars and flies private planes). His open-minded approach also matched the attitude of fellow Brit techno type Ade Fenton, a friend and sometime collaborator.
“One of the main reasons I wear makeup is because I don’t want to be another bald, stumpy, fat guy with a tracksuit on,” Fenton told Skrufff in December.
“I like the reaction you get, I like the confusion and doubt it prompts. A lot of people think I’m gay and some people are cheeky enough to ask me and that doesn’t bother me at all.”
