Nile Rodgers: ‘Madonna was the one who told me to get dreadlocks’
The musician and producer talks about how he got his hands on his Brit awards suit and why he always wears a hat to dinner
I remember that when I first saw this suit, I thought it was absolutely stunning. I stopped dead in my tracks. It’s Kim Jones for Christian Dior and it is basically an organza suit. I wore it to the Brit awards in February [where Nile Rodgers & Chic were nominated for their first Brit award for international group] and it was as light as a feather.
I called Kim over and over – I hounded him – and he kept saying: “It’s not even available yet: it’s only on the runway right now!” I was like: “I don’t care!” I had to have it.
