What would you consider to be the aesthetic behind James Hock?
Conceptually driven, enigmatic, and organic, with an unconventional but distinctive silhouette and proportion. I almost always see it as basics but in a very different context and in a very idealistic world.
What were you doing before you formed James Hock?
I was working as an auditor before I deci... Continue reading ...

What would you consider to be the aesthetic behind Adolfo Sanchez?
The Adolfo Sanchez aesthetic can be described as unique, beautiful, edgy and timeless.
What were you doing before you formed Adolfo Sanchez?
I started working in retail when I was 16-years-old. I quickly climbed the ladder in the world of retail and ended up working at some of the top fashion houses like Gucci, Versace, and Carolina Herrera to name a few. While at Carolina... Continue reading ...

Note that all answers in this interview were provided by Florence, Italy-based illustrator, Francesco Lo Iacono of INVERTED COMMAS.
(Image credit: Illustrator, Francesco Lo Iacono.) What would you consider to be the aesthetic behind INVERTED COMMAS? I guess it's all about the characters and the colours. I try to create characters that reflect some of our deepest feelings. I talk about hope, desire and disappointment; strong feelings that we try to control or fight. Most of those characters...

After sifting through an array of questions which I asked various designers a while back, and then stored in a Microsoft Word document on my memory stick (with the motive to use them at a later date), I came across a question which I asked jewelry designer, Bita Pourtavoosi. The question/answer read...What would you say has been your biggest inspiration, in both general and design terms?Bita kindly answered my question with..."My inspiration is obtained from a range of different places. Growi... Continue reading ...

In addition to questioning designer, Diana Martinez of Estela Balan about her childhood aspirations earlier this week - today I bugged New York-based street-style photographer YoungJun Koo of I'M KOO, and asked...
Where would you consider to be your favourite location when shooting street-style? YoungJun kindly answered my question with..."If I'm totally honest, I really love Manhattan in general. My favorite spot is most probably Greene Street and Spring Street in Soho. Not only do a lot of my... Continue reading ...

For some reason, I tend to find squeezing information out of designers, bloggers, photographers and artists somewhat joyous - and it seems to be an 'obsession' of mine which is becoming increasingly admirable. On that note, I bugged designer Diana Martinez of Estela Balan and asked...As a small child, what did you want to be when you grew up?Diana kindly answered my question with..."I've always wanted to be a fashion designer - yet at one point, I did turn to tennis. I wanted to be a professi... Continue reading ...

Note that all questions in this interview were answered by designers Petter Hollström and Gorjan Lauseger of Stockholm-based label, Odeur.
(Image credit: Nocturnal Dreams by Odeur.) What would you consider to be the aesthetic behind Odeur? The aesthetic behind Odeur is the clean androgynous cut, graphic silhouette and a new story behind each collection.
What were you doing before you formed Odeur? Both of us went to school, but we were not studying fashion. We are also currently working ... Continue reading ...

What were you doing before you formed Manley?
I was interning with Alexander McQueen in London by day, whilst managing a restaurant/bar by night. That time was very important for me; a huge learning curve. Having to work at night so I could intern for my dream fashion house by day is a daft concept, but I feel that I proved to myself just how much I wanted it. A bit of hard work does no harm; it prepared me for the hard slog of setting up my... Continue reading ...

What would you consider to be the aesthetic behind Thom Neal?
For me its just the whole 'Made in England' thing - I have a great passion for UK manufactured things, because as a country we are so good at creating ‘quality’. It's such a shame that manufacturing has diminished so much. What were you doing before you formed Thom Neal?
I have done a bit of everything to be honest. I didn't know what I wanted to do for ages and left school at 17, and went ... Continue reading ...

Although street-style photography is somewhat of a increasing interest of mine (meaning that I haven't yet managed to force myself out of the house to snap some images for myself, and instead spend my days flicking through a series of street-style blogs, day dreaming that one day I could be half the photographer the majority of these guys/girls are) I've already began picking out my favorites in regards to blogs which I would happily flick back to on a daily if not minutely basis. The one blo... Continue reading ...

It seems that you may just be the luckiest readers in the world; I mean, hearing from the likes of Anastasia Lomonova, Fanny and Jessy, plus jewelry designer Bita Pourtavoosi all in one week? Your friends are jealous, I bet. Despite the fact that Bita Pourtavoosi is not yet a household name, I know potential when I see it, or in this case when struts up to me and slaps me right in the face (okay, so it dropped itself into my bookmarks, yet that's the same thing, right?) In addition to a talen... Continue reading ...

Guess what? London-based design-duo, Fanny and Jessy were kind enough to answer my interview questions; meaning that I now have aspiring designer advice, background information and opinions from the duo in hand. I have to admit, despite the fact that I feel somewhat envious of every female out there and a tinge of hatred towards the label, due to the fact that Fanny and Jessy are a womenswear label and not a menswear label, I feel partially proud to announce that this pair have grabbed a posi...

That's right, the most recent addition to my archive of interviews is European yet now Canada-based designer, Anastasia Lomonova. The majority of you may recall my introductory post orientated around Anastasia earlier this week? Either way, she's possibly one of the nicest personalities I've spoken to in a while; not to mention her admirable efficiency in replying with the answers to my questions. Honestly, we have something special here; I just know it!

After weeks of collecting questions from a series of sources, I thought that today was the day to debut one of my new concepts which I would like to introduce to you all. In addition to interviews, I will also be asking various sources slightly more one off and random questions, to ensure that alongside the professional we see the personal side of a character. I'm completely against the barrier which is held between designers, photographers, business owners and their customers or fans, which ... Continue reading ...

When it comes to interview posts, I never thought that I would be interviewing photographer, Todd Anthony Tyler. For those of you who are unaware, Todd Anthony Tyler has built up quite the reputation and is now in a position where campaign, advertising and editorial shoots for the likes of Uma Wang, Stella McCartney, Puma, Vogue, L'Officiel, Look Magazine and McDonald's are considered to be somewhat of a frequent occurrence. Todd answered all of my questions thoroughly and has provided some f... Continue reading ...

Once again, I managed to leave you hanging for a more than respectable amount of time; I mean, I think it was early last week when I first started bragging about this interview with designer, Natalie Coleman of NATALIEBCOLEMAN which I was hoping to present to you towards the end of last week at the latest, yet once again college took it's toll and my late-afternoon naps set in; basically? I'm sure it's not a surprise when I say, it didn't get done, alright? (note my attitude, cause I'm your t... Continue reading ...

Those of you who follow my Facebook page may recall me mentioning an upcoming interview with Finnish designer, Daniel Palillo; despite the fact that it has taken me more than a respectable amount of time to jot everything up, I do finally have the interview ready for a read. The answers are a tad short, yet Daniel explained at the very beginning of the interview "We in Finland don't talk that much", therefore i'll let him off, as the answers he provided me with were more than satisfactory and...

I'm beginning to really get in the swing of interviewing people, asking questions and enjoying their replies; therefore of-course I wasn't going to stop after my most recent FAQ/interview with Blood Is The New Black Owner/Founder, Mitra Khayyham. As soon as I jotted up the Mitra Khayyham FAQ, I headed straight on over to Gmail and began emailing around to see who would be my next victim; who better than Kelly Love, an Australian London-based designer who owns and designs for a label in her ow...

It didn't take me too long to hunt down a second fashion industry-related interviewee after my first interview post which featured a a handful of questions by yours truly, followed by a selection of answers courtesy of ICU - IN PARIS.COM Owner/Founder Christan Summers. Despite the fact that the opportunity to sit down and talk with Mitra Khayyam, Owner/Founder of Blood Is The New Black via Skype was not available (due to the fact that Mitra is presumably an extremely busy woman), she was kind...

The majority of you may recall mentions of an interview with ICU - IN PARIS.COM Owner/Founder Christan Summers briefly last week; although it may have taken me just over a week to pull myself together and choose an image whilst piecing together the presentation of the interview, I have pulled the rabbit out of the hat and finally thrown placed everything together. Somehow during mine and Christan's conversation, we did manage to go off subject a little, and at a guess we most probably spent a... Continue reading ...
