For FIORUCCI MADE ME HARDCORE Leckey collected recorded moments of youth from three decades and compiled the material into his own shrine of fashion, music, and club culture. The memories of other people give expression to the nostalgia for the days of his own youth: “For me, the title FIORUCCI MADE ME HARDCORE means this investment of energy into something as kitschy and crassly commercial as a fleetingly fashionable pair of jeans – Fiorucci had such a moment in the late 1970s – and this belief in the brand, that somehow symbolizes a ‘way of life’, becomes something almost sacred.” (M.L.)
