Judging from their perfectly attuned dynamic, one might think that, for mother-and-son duo Patsy Kensit and Lennon Gallagher, sharing the limelight ought to be a fairly frequent occurence. Turns out, the shooting for Napapijri’s FW24 Campaign was the first time the two worked together on set.
Yet, their genuine bond was undeniable. With their shared love of fashion and deep respect for each other, these two truly are an iconic pair.
Patsy: David Bowie. Throughout every decade, I was an obsessed fan.
Lennon: You've been listening to him since you were like a young girl, 14.
Patsy: and I got to make a movie with him.
Lennon: Basically, he's your biggest passion.
Patsy: Yeah, he embodies fashion, music, art all in one. Him and Kurt Cobain probably. What about you?
Lennon: For me, being iconic in fashion is about being yourself. It’s about doing what you really like and making it authentic to yourself. You can subscribe to different styles, but mixing and matching them to make them your own—that's what makes something iconic.
Patsy: Shooting British Vogue and then flying back on Concorde as Anna Wintour's guest at the Met Ball—that was a pretty iconic moment.
Patsy: My go-to has always been black tights, ankle boots, Saint Laurent shorts, a black cashmere jumper, and a long fake fur coat. That’s been my winter uniform since then.
Patsy: Don’t marry a musician.
Lennon: [Laughs] Right, right.
Patsy: And obviously I have an angel, angel child.
Lennon: For me, probably to pick up the guitar a bit earlier. You know, that would never hurt. Pay more attention in school, and just be more present. You know, all that stuff.
Patsy: Don’t look back. Treat every day like it’s your last. Be healthy and keep moving forward.
Lennon: Depends on where I end up, but I’m not one to regret anything. Just keep going, I guess.
Patsy: Life is short. Forgive yourself for mistakes and keep going—that's key.
Patsy: When we did the shots of the two of us it was really cute and he couldn't stop laughing and our relationship and closeness were really transparent in that moment. Today's been a really great day.
Lennon: Yeah, we joked about keeping a straight face, but when we finally shot together, it was fun.
Lennon: "Dress well".
Patsy: That’s cute.
Lennon: Italy and the 90s. It was big back then and still is. I’ve seen photos of musicians at festivals wearing Napapijri hats and jackets.
Patsy: For me, it’s festivals too. I love their clothes—they’re modern, beautiful, and timeless.
Patsy: I have to have the Skidoo Anorak. When I go on my walks in Regent’s Park, that fun, cozy feeling is exactly what I need. It’s classic, timeless, and beautifully made.
Lennon: They made me feel hot—both literally and figuratively! But seriously, perfect for winter.
Patsy: I’m constantly learning from the past. Life has its ups and downs, but as a parent, you have to keep moving forward. The 90s will be like the 60s—a decade that’s revisited and reimagined. Today, doing Napapijri feels like revisiting that era with a touch of couture.
Lennon: I’m always learning too. Nothing specific comes to mind, but I’m just taking it as it comes.
Patsy: That’s a good approach—honest and real.
