So here we go again.
Megamagro is back with the first of a long list of fresh rocking monthly interviews.
Our long-range plan supports little talks about something serious filled with some other “useless”-not-so questions.
Today’s featured artist is the Discipline Crew, from Bari Italy. A talented trio linking together limited edition garments and good music in a (finally!) “non-fashion-victim” lifestyle, as they define themselves.
Barbara Laneve, Marino Bombini (the designers), and Gae Antonacci (the music producer). You’ll hear about them soon for the Offset Festival in London. In the meantime you can read of their work here.

MM: Please introduce yourself…
DP: Discipline is about limited edition garments and music production linked together by a “non-fashion-victim” life style.

MM: Is there a connection between Discipline music and Discipline apparel?
DP: Of course there is. It’s from so long that fashion is linked to music. Most of the times music makes fashion. We are very close to metropolitans subcultures, esp, old ones, that’s the reason why we decided to put together our biggest passions to make a label. And Discipline music wants to express a way to be as well as its clothings. It’s all about some kind of untouchable coherence.

MM: What doesn’t inspire you?
DP: What is made because “you have to”. You can easily share a fashion victim from a real creative person: the first one is ridicolous, the second is a personality coder.

MM: What did you put on today?
DP: If you mean music I’m just listening to Again&Again, by Black Lips. And very now Jackie Wilson with “A woman, a lover, a friend”. So classic!

MM: Looking at the fashion world, what do you write down your blacklist?
DP: I think I need a toilet paper roll to write down a black list! Ahah! I don’t like when things are made without being conscious. Btw I hate big logos on lycra t-shirts, big logos on expensive made in china bags and every lady gaga-ism!

MM: What’s in your survivor kit?
DP: My I-Phone, my Macbook, cigarettes, my Shu Uemura eye lash curler and my perfume. And even my best clothings. Oh! My fave shoes. And my face prime. Can I bring my headache medicine?

MM: How should be the Discipline artist?
DP: The Discipline artist should be eclectic and with a big research spirit. Unconventional but not forced. Genuine most of all.

MM: If you had a magic wand, what would be the first thing you’d like to do?
DP: I wish to have my own big business, some kind of large large factory where I can make my clothings, photoshootings, create and produce music and events, a recording studio, a radio, a club. I’d like to work with worldwide talents. A place where people from wherever should be just once in a life or even live and work in. 
And peace in the world, of course!

MM: What about the present/what about the future?
DP: Right now we are working on next collection and on next record realease, which will be a compilation of italian avantguarde scene:it’s very hype in Europe at the moment.
Discipline will dj again at Offset festival on 4th and 5th of September, in London and we are planning a big big event in our city which is still top secret.
More Discipline is official correspondent from Italy for Filep Motwary’s blog so I’m working on new fresh stuff and getting ready for next Milan Fashion Week.
Our present is our future most of the times. We work today for things that are going to happen tomorrow. And when tomorrow comes we are already busy with the next step!

MM: Thank you and keep up the good work
DP: Thanks to you guys! Your blog will smash’em all!
