“I don’t think Alton has any cap on his ambition as an artist,” Baz Luhrmann tells me, “whether that be acting, modeling, moving, or singing.” (Mason is, naturally, also hard at work on an album.)
Mason is not leaving the fashion world behind, though—far from it. “As soon as Dream Scenario was over, I was back on the plane, back on set, shooting, doing shows, traveling. And since that was my first movie since doing Elvis, I think I was open and enlightened to the idea of being able to do everything all at once,” he said, before filling in the broad strokes of his future in fashion: “I really can’t wait to creative direct and have my own fashion line. I want to be a house.”
