What Do you Think about The Upcoming Fashion scene in The UK ?
It's awesome to see so many involved in fashion whilst engaged in other industries i.e. non fashion students involved in fashion. I was blessed to enjoy the company of a lovely lady at the shoot who studies Psychology. I found it so delightful that I first mistook her for fashion/ design student due to her outfit.
What current trends in the Fashion scene do you not like at the moment ?
Gender deletion. The Bible (being the word of God) serves the framework for my level of engagement, acceptance and appreciation of clothing designed for males, females and both. Fashion designers burning to challenge and change status quo is not something I condone. The moments where I glance at an image of a model in an outfit without the ability to discern their gender are becoming ever-more frequent much to my distaste.
Do you like, love or prefer the colour BLACK ? & Why ?
I have no option but to love black - it surrounds me and you. Visually engulfing, it is undoubtedly the primary colour of choice for any and everything you can fathom. After all, what is the colour of the font which you are reading?
What inspired Your ALL BLACK Outfit ?
Purpose, I cycled 8.7 miles to the destination (on a fixed gear bike should you wonder). It is paramount that what I wear be a reflection and accommodation of my activities before further, more creative expressions. I anticipated the leather of my Eastpak jacket would keep me very warm (which it did) thus the rolled-up sleeves and leaving it's detachable faux fur collar at home. The tee hid the sweat formed the jacket (hey, if you figure a method of cycling quickly without sweating you let me know, thanks). The Levi's were also rolled for further ventilation but were mainly chosen for their stretching capabilities. My CK socks were thin and breathable whilst the Vans slip ons are my reliable daily sneakers. I've worn them so much the "Off The Wall' signage has faded away on red sole tabs.
Does the weather affect your Love for all Black clothing ?
In Summer I avoid it more than a place without wifi.
Do you have any Ideas or Advice for the designers of all Black Clothing ?
Working with texture could bring out a different element in clothing setting one apart from other designers. Before my Levi's I had Next cord slims - Had tears not formed I would have worn those instead in a heart beat. I sure love corduroy. Corduroy corduroy corduroy - did they appear in the mirror?
