Sia Gets Her Wigs On, Lensed By Gregory Harris For Interview Magazine April 2015
/
Singer/songwriter Sia covers the April issue of Interview magazine, lensed by Gregory Harris. Elin Svahn chooses looks from Alexander Wang, Viktor & Rolf Couture, Alexander MQueen and more, all complemented by Sia’s well-known wigs. The Aussie born star gives her fourth interview ever to Kristen Wiig, who performed ‘Chandelier’at this year’s Grammys.
Agreeing that her unusual look ‘confronts our utter devotion to the avatar-industrial complex. The side benefit is a degree of anonymity.
For Sia, who writes frequently for the Beyoncés and Rihannas of the world but doesn’t want any of the trappings of those stars’ lifestyles, the gimmick is also a game, an art project, and a form of self-preservation. As she tells her pal Wiig, none of the recent success, nor, indeed, the distillation of her image down to that singular hairstyle, was uncalculated. But the control she is able to exert over her professional life is a necessary luxury, a way to make art globally and stay sane locally.
