A portion of the proceeds from the ?Haute Chic? Van Pier ?Rock Couture? Collection will be donated to Habitat for Humanity to benefit their New Orleans rebuilding program.
All of the outrageous stagewear was designed by Van Pier, who has created fashions for literally hundreds of rock videos over the past two decades and is planning a highly anticipated new line of Rock Couture that will blend streetwear with glamour. "I want to turn ordinary people into rock stars," Van Pier said.
Van Pier's entry into the world of rock 'n' roll came in the early 1980's when he was hired by MTV to create a hip new image for the station's Veejays. During that time he was introduced to a young singer named Madonna who was without a budget for an album cover. Van Pier came to Madonna's rescue. Since that time he has been a creative conceptual consultant for top music entertainment companies such as Sony Music,
CBS records, RCA, Island and Atlantic records to name a few.
Music television MTV, VH1, HBO, Asahi TV and Telemundo.
Van Pier's avant garde, groundbreaking fashions continue to startle and astound fashionistas everywhere. He has applied his fashion savy in the making of a dizzying array of rock videos including Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark," Columbia Records; David Bowie's "Blue Jeans," EMI American Records; Michael Jackson's "Black and White;" Tina Turner's "You Better Be Good to Me," Capitol Records; Prince and the Revolution's "When Doves Cry," Warner Brothers; and Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer," Geffen Records. He has also worked with the Red Hot Chile Peppers, the Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode, and Bryan Adams. And that is only the tip of the iceberg. Van Pier divides his time between London, New York and Tokyo and is a highly sought after consultant for major television commercials broadcast on an almost daily basis.
