How have you become interested and involved in fashion?
I have always cared about how I look like, so the interest was there from an early age. Playing basketball I was particularly thrilled with kicks. You know, the latest Jordans and Pennys were always on top of my list. My obsession with sneakers probably reached its peak earlier this year. It was a logical consequence to branch out and become a fashion enthusiast. It’s almost part of being a sneaker connoisseur to be fashion savvy.
Describe your personal style in 10 words or less.
Fresh yet classy. And generally, always appropriate.
What’s the idea behind The Hunting Club?
The Hunting Club is basically our interpretation of everything that we are interested in. Whether it’s music, photography, design or whatever, we take all that into account and run with it. It will show in the fashion we will put out.
Besides that I’ve always wanted to establish my own brand to wear my own clothes. I imagine it to be fulfilling holding your own product in your hands or seeing other people wearing it. It’s primarily about that kind of fulfilment. Of course it would be my dream to be able to make a living with my own brand. We’re talking about the far future here though. First of all we’ve to focus on the present and putting our first collection out.
What are you into apart from fashion?
I’m into music most definitely. I can’t imagine life without it. When I’m at home my stereo’s on most of the time and when I’m on the road I’ve got my iPod with me. You’ll catch me writing a lot of articles about music on thehuntingclub.net.
I’m also very interested in photography and all sorts of design. I’m fascinated by architecture and that kind of stuff.
