What have you been wearing on stage? Anything new you particularly like?

*Micky James ([@themickyjamesmusic](https://www.instagram.com/themickyjamesmusic/))*
This past year I was fortunate enough to be asked to support [Joe Perry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Perry_(musician)) of Aerosmith on a short tour in the states. On that tour I decided to wear a two piece mustard suit. 

I was very inspired by [Terry O’ Neill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_O%27Neill_(photographer))’s images of [David Bowie](https://www.google.com/search?q=terry+o%27neill+david+bowie+yellow+suit&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwictsbcyo-DAxWHKtAFHUxzAlsQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=terry+o%27neill+david+bowie+yellow+suit&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoFCAAQgAQ6BggAEAgQHjoECAAQHlCtAljTFGDaFmgBcAB4AIABvwGIAYINkgEEMC4xNJgBAKABAaoBC2d3cy13aXotaW1nwAEB&sclient=img&ei=_kx7ZZy_C4fVwN4PzOaJ2AU&bih=630&biw=1179) in the early 70’s when he wore his vibrant yellow suit. I would also say [Marc Bolan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Bolan) was an inspiration to this particular look as I wanted to channel some of his glam in the boots and eye makeup up.

Do you collaborate with anyone? A stylist? A friend?

*micky* 
On this particular look, there was no collaboration. I purchased this suit a while back for a video shoot and never had the opportunity to really put it to use on a tour and build a look around it. I'm glad it finally came to life.

Do you ***make*** any special pieces?

*micky*
I have collaborated with friends and stylists in the past on shoots and on of my tour outfits but I usually tend to put the pieces together myself.

Where do you *find* stage clothes? Any fav shops?

I’ve collected so many pieces over time that the outfits sort of build themselves. I’ve collected a lot of different looks from thrift and vintage stores in NJ and PA. There are some great little vintage shops in New Hope, PA. [13 Vintage](https://www.instagram.com/13vintage/) & [Night Bird Vintage](https://www.instagram.com/nightbirdvintage) are great spots that I try to shop at as much as I can.

Where does your sense of style come from? Any special sources of inspiration?

*micky*
Well, I've naturally developed a taste for the theatrical and aspired to become a performer from a young age. In my music and my personal style, I've always been inspired musically and aesthetically of a bygone era of rock n roll. Artists that were so transformative in their look such as [Bowie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie), [Jagger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Jagger), [Lou Reed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Reed)- influenced me greatly when developing my stage outfits.
