A part-time photographer, sneaker collector, fashion designer, fashionista and Graphic Designer!
I'm original deadstock unsampled material. There's only one cut and I do things first. I personally don't fall for this myspace shit but Ill do it because every bitch has one nowadays. I normally jump on this shit first or last but it looks as if Im last on this one. I don't take myself seriously at all and that's why I act like a plank and do stupid things. However I hope you see I ain't just another Bape posing Star Trak handing hoe.
Crazy art student with crazy ideas. I want to be successful and I will tread on everyone until I get that. A graphic designer by trade, I run my own web site and i'm beginning my own clothing label - Vive La Revolution. In September, I will hopefully be adding to my plethora of skills by studying Graphic Design at the University College for Creative Arts in Epsom.
I want to meet my future, i'm a person with set goals that I have to achieve. I suppose if I met my future i'd most probably be dead.
It's like I always say, "at the end of the day, it gets dark".
Peace out, kids.

In a crowded place, how do you stand out? Do you follow the trends and
congregate within your own little clique, never being original or true to
yourself? Or do you stand as a non-entity, blending in with the wallpaper?
//
Inspired by traditional french patterns and designs, the idea behind Vive
La Revolution is bringing the old to the new whilst attacking current
affairs and trends. The brand is bringing something different to the
'street'wear market. (A revolution)
What are the current themes behind this
seasons designs?
// We've been looking at the theme of innocent hoodie wearers/masked
bandits. Inspired by the banning of some hoodies in shopping centres in the
UK. We're also trying to attack current themes in 'street'wear without the
designs becoming a parody on those themes.
What are your current thoughts on 'street'wear?
// It's a crowded, fickle market out there. In a post-modernist world, how
do you create something different and original. I firmally believe that
buyers want honestly priced, well designed clothes now, instead of buying
into a lifestyle. So many of these brand lifestyles bring distasteful
consequences.
How do you see your brand going?
// The brand isn't an 'exclusive' brand like so many others but merely a low
production brand that churn out a handful of designs each season. Unless
somebody wants to back the brand full time and print in big numbers it will
stay that way. Conceptually we'll keep churning out original ideas.
What brands do you admire?
// A lot of Crooks and Castles line relates to our work. I love the way LRG
churn out fantastic designed clothes every once in a while for good prices.
You have to admire Nigo and Bape for what they've done for the market but
they have gone off the boil... that however is another story!! My biggest
appreciation goes out to brands like Orisue and The Hundreds who have worked
without sleep to create and do what they love. To have hand-screened each
paisley hoodie is remarkable!
