Clip description
Australia is a world leader in surf wear and surf culture. Robert Moore has been designing for Mambo for many years and is one of the best in the business, despite very little art school training.
Curator’s notes
Artist and designer Robert Moore is interviewed by Fashionista host Lee Lin Chin. This is a very informal interview in Moore’s studio, in keeping with the designs he creates for surf wear company Mambo. As Moore discusses his interests and influences we see useful cutaways to illustrate them – including cars, surfing, skateboarding and Mambo designs by other artists.
There’s a delightful playfulness to this clip with Lee Lin Chin toying with a child’s peddle car and walking in the background carrying a surfboard. It’s all good lighthearted fun which is the essence of Mambo itself.
