The Virgins: A Paris stop on their tour, near the Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Seine
Frontman Donald Cummings (center): “I have a lot of photos of Richard Gere around the time of American Gigolo—him completely fit and waxed with a towel draped over his shoulder and wet hair; he’s glowing in orange light with steam around him. That shit had a lot to do with the aesthetics and the vibe of our record. When you’re writing music, you want to try to incorporate that feeling into what you’re wearing. That said, I have a shirt, a pair of jeans, a jacket and leather S&M suspenders that I’ve been sporting every day for about two months.”
