mbwake Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hello. I'm a music journalist, trying to track down the seamstress who made Jimmy Page's white and black dragon stage outfits, to interview for a story for LA Weekly. I've read here and elsewhere the designer was a then Los Angeles-based seamstress known as Coco. Read on a thread within this forum she was living in the UK in 2012. If anyone has a way to contact her and/or knows here full name please email me at matthewbwake@gmail.com. I would really appreciate the help and time. Below is some of my previous work for LA Weekly.http://www.laweekly.com/music/how-a-custom-guitar-made-in-redondo-beach-saved-appetite-for-destruction-6807261http://www.laweekly.com/music/inside-the-strange-hidden-world-of-offstage-touring-musicians-6539027http://www.laweekly.com/music/master-recordings-from-abbey-road-to-born-to-run-could-be-lost-forever-without-archivists-help-7575450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Matthew, I don't know Coco's whereabouts today. You may want to post your inquiry to the Vintage Los Angeles group on Facebook run by Alison Martino (singer Al Martino's daughter). https://www.facebook.com/VintageLosAngeles/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeC Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 In some of my JP / LZ research I speculated that the "Coco" Page referred to was Corrine "Coco" Schwab, David Bowie's longtime personal assistant. I don't have any solid proof of that, except that Page and Bowie knew and spent time with each other (not always healthily, shall we say), and Page's dragon and poppy suits are somewhat "glam" in the same way as Bowie's mid-70s outfits. Perhaps your research can uncover something more substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
