test 5

who have I been obsessed with these days? Honestly, I
f***ing love Issey Miyake or Martin Rose but yeah if I
had 10,000 dollars I’d probably buy 10 sweatshirts from
Haider Ackermann.
DM: And the reason is...?
JA: I don’t know. They just have a f***ing beautiful cut
and I don’t know if you’ve ever felt one but the silk blend
that they use in that s**t is just so soft that you can wear
any season. So, yeah I’d probably buy a bunch of s**t
from like Haider because I love the tones that they’re
still using. They create some of the most beautiful
colours I’ve ever seen.
DM: What brand do you have the most of in your closet
and why?
JA: The brand you’ll mostly find in my closet is Prada
because I work for them and I love the s**t that they
make. With me and my co-workers, it’s literally just like
who f***ing picks up the cosiest shit whenever we get
shipments in hahaha. You know every week like we all
stand together when we open boxes and like literally it’s
like first come, first serve and like my co-workers have
found some dope s**t. I’ve found some dope s**t. I’ve
really gotten some steals and stuff because a crazy a**
item will come discounted and we’re just shook but yeah. Um, definitely Prada is what you’ll find the most in my
closet.
DM: So, you said you work at Prada. How did you end up getting that job and how did that end up influencing your
fashion?
JA: Um, honestly I went into the store at the right time. I took in an application and they never got back to me. A
couple of months later and I walked in and the manager was stood at the front desk, who was never at the front
desk. I introduced myself and I don’t know what it was, he saw something in me and he set us up for coffee the
next day and we did an interview. After that, he set me up for four more interviews. I had five interviews in total
technically, it took me about 2 months to get hired.
DM: Jheeze. It was probably worth it when you did get hired though.
JA: I mean, they heard that someone from Gucci was trying to recruit me. As a company, I love just everything that
Prada reflects upon dude. The lockup procedures felt truly like their best values in my opinion.
DM: Has working there changed your sense of fashion?
JA: So, definitely it’s made me a little more conservative with my fashion because I love high-end streetwear, like
when people mix streetwear/skatewear with high fashion. I think it’s the best of both worlds, I feel like everything
I buy from the store, no matter how classic it looks, I can always add like something from the streetwear end. It’s
definitely made me more conservative, though.
