Question: Prince Fashion sketches...

It's well known P designs his own clothes. Has any one seen any of his sketches or does he dictate and some one else draws them?

i would love 2 see if he does sketch out his own suits n stuff...althought now that i think of it it would be highly unlikely...it's PRINCE we're talkin about lol

From what I remember hearing Helen Hiatt say, he would sketch out rough designs and ideas, then they would run with those....

Sorry 4 the delay, but ive been sifting through hundreds and hundreds of pix in the gallery, as I could have SWORN I uploaded one of Prince's sketches many moons ago - I'll re-scan it and post it 2morrow. I've probably just missed it as im tired and it's very late...so check back 2morrow...

During the Lovesexy tour and Nude tours in particular, yes - it was a recurring theme. Someone posted all the Kanjii meanings somewhere at one point, but I have no idea myself.

PS: Here's the sketch I promised u guys last nite:

Here's Prince's original sketch of the "ass-less pants". Sure, it needed some work, but...

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

The Ones Ben uploaded were from Ebay many moons ago, and the one I uploaded (1st pic) is from an old Sotheby's auction catalogue. Hope this helps answer your (somewhat intruigin) question. tease
