Jay Chou's new clothes
by kelvin@multistars - 3rd October 2003
In Jay's wardrobe, even though there's a lot of fun clothing but recently he has become fascinated with Western clothes, wishing that he could be just like the male lead Adrien Brody in "The Pianist". But if you wanted him to say his most proud clothing, it cannot break away from the gorgeous clothing he wore in the concert and plus the recent prize: tie!
Shy to show hair on his leg, doesn't like to wear shorts
Jay, who likes to play basketball, has a lot of demands towards basketball clothes, besides sports T-short, Jay insists on wearing trousers to play basketball, because "my leg hair is 0 cool hair, my leg hair doesn't look good, that's why I don't like to wear shorts", Jay said that he is shy to show people his leg hair in a public event, no matter what he won't wear shorts to play basketball but he will definitely wear a kerchief, "Only then will you have a demeanour when playing basketball."
From when he was small he had the habit of not wearing underwear, he is very insistent on this point. Even if he is wearing loose and comfortable sports trousers when playing basketball he will still not wear underwear. He won't wear them when walking on the red carpet for the GMA but yet he won't dare to sleep naked. He, who used to frequently sleep at the company, always wears basketball clothing as pyjamas; after he wakes up he can immediately change into promotional clothing, "I cannot sleep naked, my nose will be over sensitive, I will catch the cold easily like this."
Buys second-hand Western clothing, super excited to wear a tie
Recently he served as his own album's image designer, Jay bought lots of second-hand Western clothing and clothing restored in an old way to wear. He also bought lots of ties to match with them, among them were a few "donated" by company general manager Mr Yeung, Jay said laughing: "Among so many ties, those few I immediately found were Mt Yeung's, because no matter how you looked at them they looked like the tie he wore when he sang "Love Letter Group" in the past!"
Jay loves to wear Western clothing but yet he can't put on ties, he has to trouble the staff to help him put on the tie. On the day of the interview, Jay chose a tie he liked and the staff helped him put it on. Never could you have thought that he, who wears fun clothing, but because he added a tie he became excited: "This is not bad, I will wear this to my next schedule!" Everyone opposed it together, Jay was still insistent: "No one wears it like this, so I will wear it like this!"
Clothing, music standard: create something new and original
Some celebrities wear different things when they are on stage to privately because of image issues, but yet Jay takes what he wears in daily life and blends them into the image clothing. The promotional clothing is his everyday clothes, the clothes he cannot wear, don't think he'll wear them to sing.
Of course, this doesn't saying that Jay will reject wearing gorgeous clothing; he takes his vigorous and unconstrained styled idea and implements them into the clothing in concerts, battle costume, kung fu costume, and even hard shelled muscle costume, these clothes that aren't normally worn out, he will wear them in the concert and satisfy his craving.
The method used my vary but the principle is the same, Director Chou's clothing standard is the same as his music, the best is ones others have not done. A lenient T-shirt matching a tie makes him so happy that he wants to wear it onto the programme schedule; small places are even more different, his fans make the wrist protections, on the top is his English name "JAY". Jay, who is treats his fans well, always kindly shows off the gifts his fans give him making the fans beside themselves with joy.
The interesting thing is that he stated that he doesn't like to wear underwear ages ago, but yet there are always fans giving him different styles of underwear, making people puzzled.
