Miley Cyrus on her art collection: 'I might as well sit around, smoke weed, and do something'

Miley Cyrus will premiere her art collection, 'Dirty Hippie,' at this autumn's New York Fashion Week  on September 10 during American fashion designer, Jeremy Scott's show.  

Cyrus' collection will feature plastic jewellery and teddy bears in bright neon colours. The pieces are made from items she has found along her travels or presents given to her by fans. After their catwalk debut, V Magazine will host the colleciton in their offices from September 11.

Speaking to V Magazine about the 'Dirty Hippie' collection, Cyrus said:

"This seems so f---ing lame to say but I feel like my art became kind of a metaphor— an example of my life. Because a bunch of sh---y things kept happening. I’ve always been so f---ing lucky. Everything has always just been easy for me. And at the beginning of this year, I hated 2014 because everything that could go wrong kept going wrong. Being in the hospital, my dog dying...Everything just kept sh---ing on me and sh---ing on me. So then I started taking all of those sh-- things and making them good, and being like, I’m using it.

"My brother and my friends all said that’s what they felt I was doing. So, that’s how I started making art. I had a bunch of f---ing junk and sh--, and so instead of letting it be junk and sh--, I turned it into something that made me happy."

"I just sit around and smoke weed anyway, so I might as well sit around, smoke weed, and do something. And this is me doing something,

"I love it. I mean, I’m up until seven in the morning doing this stuff all the time. It was much weirder when I started doing it while I was sober."

Miley Cyrus will appear on the front cover of the Rebel Issue (V91) of V Magazine on September 10 (see top left hand side photo).
