DEENA LYNCH

We ask fashion’s preeminent talents to curate their world through style. Visual artist and musician Deena Lynch, aka Jaguar Jonze, who conspired on artworks for Christian Louboutin, shares the cross-cultural influences that nourish her keen eye and ear.

“Ren Hang’s body of work pierced the veil of taboos, oppression and sexuality in China, a side we often see hidden and suppressed. His art inspires me to find courage in breaking free out of my own societal pressures and cultural instincts.”

“Christian Louboutin The Exhibition(ist) is an index of inspiration … It’s given me great insight into the history of art, its movements and the creatives throughout time.”

“Nendo is a Tokyo design studio that dabbles in furniture, graphics, installations, products and interiors that craft playfulness and cleverness while still upholding the minimalist ‘less is more’ concept.”

“I am in love with Louboutin’s Mondiri block heel.”

“Half of my blood flows through Taiwan and so it is a curious place for me. The cities and villages capture the nostalgia of Japanese aesthetics on a bed of Chinese traditions.”

“I’ve just released a new single Deadalive under my music project Jaguar Jonze [a follow-up to the Diamonds & Liquid Gold EP]. I wrote it in our New York apartment earlier this year when we were stuck in lockdown during our US tour. I finished it in Sydney while under hospital care recovering from Covid-19. It was a period of time that tested my resilience and fortitude and this song serves as my reminder.”

“Yayoi Kusama is a style rock-star to me. Fearlessly playing with boldness, colour and block patterns.”

“Jo Malone’s Tuberose Angelica is a cologne my mother and I share, having picked the exact same bottle separately.”

“My self-portrait Deena IX: Waking the Tiger shares my journey of recovery with Complex PTSD.”

“I will forever dream to be one of the Sex and the City women with their delicious wardrobes and shoes.”
