Gwen Stefani on Fashion
Have you always been obsessed with fashion?
“It’s been the same my whole life. I made so many clothes growing up and I used to do my own costumes. Like, in college – we’d have a concert coming up and all I would do was daydream about what I was going to make. It’s the same now. Fashion gets me so excited.”
Where did you draw inspiration for your spring line?
“I wanted to make a collection I was really going to wear. I was into grey, black and white, with just touches of colour, like yellow here and there. And a lot of drapery and slouchy stuff and some tailoring – and looks that were a bit Eighties, but also modern.
It’s about what I would wear, to be honest. It’s very selfish!”Gwen Stefani on being a Musician
Do you enjoy performing in front of thousands of people?
“I love it. It is so awesome. I love getting ready and getting in costume, then performing and being physical. If you don’t play live concerts, nothing feels real. It’s just a song on the radio that you hear when you’re driving and it doesn’t affect you. But when you walk out on stage and there are people who actually spent their money to buy a ticket and they’re singing the songs, it’s suddenly mind-blowing.”
What initially made you decide to jump from musician to designer?
“I wanted so badly to have a backup plan for when I’m not performing any more. Let’s be realistic: it’s not going to be like this forever. So
I wanted to continue having something creative to do. I have to be creative to be happy.
I don’t have a strong sense of self-worth unless I’m doing something. I was a different person before I started to write. When I realised I could be a songwriter and that people would listen – that was when I started feeling good in my life.”You’ve said you had writer’s block when trying to work on the next No Doubt record. Have you overcome it?
“I just wrote a song, which is really exciting! It’s not even done and I’ve listened to it two billion times already. It’s like I can’t stop. If my husband comes in and I’m listening to it, I’m like, ‘I’m sorry’.”
Gwen Stefani on Gavin and Kids
When I interviewed Gavin years ago, he said he prides himself on being an excellent gift giver. Do you ever drop any hints about what you want?
“Oh, no, we’re not allowed to do that. It’s just old-fashioned gift giving. He goes all out, you know? He’s a romantic, so it’s good. He is a creative guy and he’s amazingly inspiring with that creativity. We had a really good Christmas last year; it was fun getting gifts for the kids.”
How do you and Gavin coordinate your outfits for a red-carpet event – is his outfit based on your dress?
“We just do our own thing and it always seems to work. He has such great style. I get ideas from a lot of his clothes for the women’s clothing line, because I like that kind of mixture. I use a lot of stuff in his closet. I’ll be, like, ‘Ooh, we should do a girl version of this!’”
Are you and Gavin going to try for a little girl? Someone should get to inherit your wardrobe…
“I don’t know. Having children is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. No one could have prepared me for how awesome it is and how hard. And having two boys – there’s a lot of energy. I mean, it does seem weird that I don’t have a girl, but I feel like I’m running out of time. I also don’t want to spread myself so thin that I can’t even be good for them. “Poor Zuma, he’d be the middle guy. I’m not focusing on it right now, but it’s not up to me anyway, you know? These things are miracles, so we’ll see. Otherwise, the clothes are probably going to go to some girlfriend of Kingston’s!”
What’s your favourite meal to cook, your signature dish?
“I don’t cook. I can toast in the toaster. I can pour and set the table. No, Gavin is the one. It’s not even an option, he is so passionate about it. He cooks every day. He loves to go grocery shopping and find different things. I’m really lucky. It’s actually lucky and hard at the same time, because sometimes you
want to be fit and not eat it, but you have to eat it.”Gwen Stefani on her signature red lipstick
You’ve even worn red lipstick while jogging. Is there any time you don’t wear it?
“No, I wear it all the time! I wear pink, I wear gloss, I wear everything, but my husband prefers when I wear red, so I want him to like me still! I remember the first time I ever wore dark lipstick. I was maybe 18 and I can remember the moment I put it on – in my Honda Prelude that I bought for like, $3,000 [about £1,950] – and looking in the mirror going, ‘Good, I like that’. Never again did I stop wearing it.”

According to Spinner, Gwen is going to be one of the celebrities interviewed on an upcoming documentary about legendary Southern California band, Fishbone.
The film is called “Everyday Sunshine” and is due out this spring.
What do Chuck D, George Clinton and Tim Robbins have in common? The same thing that would keep Flea, Gwen Stefani and Ice-T engaged in conversation, were the three ever to find themselves trapped in an elevator: Fishbone, the long-running California band that’s the subject of a new documentary due out this spring.
The film, ‘Everyday Sunshine,’ will feature interviews with all of the aforementioned stars, as well as a handful of other famous fans. Laurence Fishburne — selected, one hopes, not just because his last name sounds a bit like Fishbone — provides narration.
“When I was a kid, I liked their stuff, and I always figured if I was going to do a music documentary, it would be Fishbone,” director Lev Anderson tells Spinner. He says the film will likely debut at SXSW in March and then see wider release later this year.
The film traces the band’s entire 30-year history, telling the story of six kids from South Central Los Angeles that dared to mix ska, punk, funk, metal, hip-hop and virtually any other genre they could think of, creating a sound no one had heard before. The final scenes focus on singer Angelo Moore and bassist John Norwood Fisher, the only two original members still part of the band. In addition to celebrity interviews, ‘Everyday Sunshine’ will include rare live footage from throughout the band’s run.
“We’ve got one show that must be before they signed to Columbia, 1984, maybe,” Anderson says. “There’s a lot of footage we’ve gotten from fans of Fishbone that have shot stuff, [plus] great Fishbone shows in ’87 that were on public TV, one in Minneapolis, one in St. Louis.”
Anderson says the diverse list of luminaries he was able to interview for the project proves what a unique group Fishbone was and continues to be.
“All of these people you can bring in, and I don’t think you can do that for too many other bands,” he says.
