Where do you look for new ideas or voices in fashion?
It is always a process. Each time you see a visual or a piece of clothing which catches your eye, it reminds you of an image that left a mark in you. It could be a collection or someone special with a unique style, and the result plants a new idea in your head. You just start to read it differently and remix it.
In which ways might fashion creativity effectively drive growth?
Creativity is movement in constant evolution which encourages expansion, and then the mind follows.
What surprises you about the industry in 2025?
How accessible it has become. When I first started, the industry felt like this high society of creative people with unique style wearing interesting clothes with extraordinary lifestyles. It has become more mainstream. It is a different time now.
What defines men’s elegance in a contemporary context?
It is expressed through a wider range of men now. It is not restricted to one demographic.
There seems to be more overlap between fashion/entertainment and fashion/sports than ever. Thoughts?
It makes our jobs even more purposeful and meaningful to see fashion being so celebrated across all kinds of industries, and to see how wearing the right clothes can enhance you.
