'I'm a menswear designer. It wasn't what I studied to be or what I ever expected to become, but chance, an intense interest in classic menswear and supportive friends and family has given me the opportunity to follow this dream. I'm wearing one of the suits me and my friend and business partner Lars designed.
Since I was a kid I've loved clothes, and the many ways in which you can project different images of your personality by variation in clothing and style. My journey towards my current state of dress took the route via 60's mod style. I loved the music, attitude and style of the mods. It opened my eyes to sharp dressing, i.e. coat and tie. I started rummaging through my fathers old clothes and found a treasure of tweed jackets.
This was something like 10 years ago or so. Since then I have acquired vast amounts of knowledge about classic menswear. I have also started a vintage web shop and a clothing brand with a friend. The great thing is you never stop learning new things about classic style. I come across pictures of my grandfather wearing something nice, or see pictures from
the latest Pitti Uomo, and get new ideas as to how you can combine garments and keep on developing. It's an ongoing journey.'

'Style is a way of existence to me. Since I was a child I've been enamored with fashion. Growing up watching Dick Tracy and Tombstone and Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal I was amazed by the look of a fitted bespoke suit. I was raised in a Thrift Store so gaining a sense of style was second nature to me. My style is a reflection of so many Genres of music, film and entertainment.'

'Once there was a very sad fat kid crying every night to sleep, feeling sorry not only for his poor self image but also because he felt he was sinning for being attracted to other boys. He lacked confidence and only hoped for a miracle to happen to make him be what he wanted to be.
One day he decided he was tired of having a life he didn't want. He started believing and changed every single thing that bothered him. He found joy in exercising and revealed to his family his orientation. After he lost all the weight he noticed people found him attractive. He discovered that if he loved himself people would love him too.
All his life he secretly had a vision of himself as a fashionista, he knew that it was the right moment now with all his confidence to do what he always wanted to do…
This is me now.'
