It’s not about anything but that, we need to move ahead.” So we really tightened as a group even more then. Because the directors were butting heads, we the collective said: “You know what? This is all about AIDS. There was an interesting element going on there, too. As far as the work, we busted our asses and it went on for three days. George brought the song and Thierry brought the visuals, that’s really how the collaboration came down. It took place in Paris and Thierry Mugler and George Michael were the directors, they collaborated. He said: “Yes, this is it!”ĭANILO: We all donated our time. JOEY ARIAS (a performer who plays the video’s couturier): George Michael contacted Mugler, and Mugler came up with the storyboard, which he does very beautifully, with Stefano Canulli, who does all the final drawings, and presented this to George, and George gave approval. Also, I think Thierry and his views on sexuality and sensuality were things that very much titillated George because I think he was bound at that time in his life. George was fully aware and would show up at shows because was the show to be at, you know.
And who didn’t know Thierry at that point? We had incredible stars walking our runway and an eclectic mix of phenomena going on. all the girls, who were all the girls who walked with us. The video was a charity job we all did it for free.ĭANILO (the video’s hairstylist): George knew Naomi, Christy, Linda. there was always some kind of music combined with these incredible outfits. I know that George wanted to work with Thierry Mugler because his shows were a bit like cabarets-it was more like going to a theater show it was extraordinary.
but he could do this song, “Too Funky,” that was put onto the Red Hot + Dance album.
Somehow I think George Michael was then in a conflict with Sony, so he was not able to do any albums before his contract was over. EMMA SJÖBERG WIKLUND (model who wears the motorcycle outfit and robot costume in the video): The “Too Funky” video was made to raise money for AIDS research.
