He was clad in a black jacket, black skinny jeans, a black hat and white shirt with black dots.\n\nGQ: Is this your first show of the week?\n\n Beck: My first show. Ever.\n\nGQ: Ever?\n\n Beck: Yeah.\n\nGQ: Why this one?\n\n Beck: I'm friends with Hedi. He invited me. So.\n\nGQ: Are you wearing any Saint Laurent?\n\n Beck: (Looks down. Touches his black coat.) This jacket.\n\nGQ: And your shirt?\n\n Beck: Yeah, my shirt.\n\nGQ: Pants?\n\n Beck: Yeah. Yeah, everything, I guess.\n\nGQ: Who were your style icons when you were growing up?\n\n Beck: Bowie. Serge Gainsbourg. And punk rock. I was way into that as a kid. The Clash.\n\nGQ: That's interesting\u2014your hat is very Paul Simonon.\n\n Beck: I love that guy. He's one of my heroes.\n\nGQ: What's he like?\n\n Beck: I've never met him. It's a dream.\n\nGQ: You haven't met him? I thought all you famous people move in a super-exclusive club, and know each other.\n\n Beck: No, no. One day.\n\nGQ: When you were a kid, was there a piece of clothing that you loved? Something that made you feel awesome?\n\n Beck: I never thought about clothes. We didn't have much money, so we shopped at thrift stores. I was wearing clothes from the fifties, probably. I just never thought about it.\n\nGQ: So you never saved anything? Like a great old jean jacket?\n\n Beck: I haven't saved anything. I'm trying to now. My grandfather told me awhile ago that it was important for an artist to build his archive. That's the way that you have a career. A body of work. And I realized, I toured for a good ten years and never took a photograph or a video tape. Nothing.\n\nGQ: Yeah, you need to make your version of Pull My Daisy.\n\n Beck: It's a great movie. But, yeah, now I'm aware of recording more.\n\nGQ: So, what do you think of your first show in Paris?\n\n Beck: I guess we'll find out. Haven't seen it yet, right?\n\nSee the complete Saint Laurent Spring 2014 Men's Collection here."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
