Rick Genest, a.k.a. Zombie Boy, isn’t as bad as he looks – nor as tall. Here in Fashion Rio for Ausländer, he speaks softly, is a man of few words and hardly smiles. When we talked to Rick, we asked him upfront when he got his first tattoo. "Nine years ago," he said. And how do you take care of them? "I don’t," he said, shrugging.
* The Canadian, who lives in Montreal, said he has traveled much lately, but usually doesn’t know many tourist attractions – he simply doesn’t have the time. Here in Brazil, he only went to the beach at night. "After here, I’m going home and taking two weeks off. I need it," he said.
* Only when asked about his friend Nicola Formichetti, the designer of Thierry Mugler, who introduced Rick to the fashion world, did he open a sweet smile "He’s a good guy, very real and down to earth. I love him," he said. Finally, we asked if he likes to do shows. "It’s kind of fun …" Too cool, this Zombie Boy.
