Ed. Edward. Ed Russell. But never Eddie. "I'm fine with whatever you call me, but just not that,' says Edward Russell while laughing and shaking his head. "Maybe it's just my perception, but Eddie sounds a bit too childish. I don't think I'll be taken seriously."
Understandable. After all, despite sporting a five o'clock shadow, the good-looking 32-year-old, who started his career as a model, still has a baby face. Coupled with his bright smile and youthful off-duty dressing (today, he is in a casual white t-shirt, dark blue jeans and a dark green overshirt), he can pass off as someone much younger. He also loves accessorising, and is often seen with multiple rings and bracelets that he layers.
In addition to this, he has amassed quite an enviable collection of sneakers, some of which are limited editions that he purchased online from popular reseller collector sites, such as StockX. "The problem, as some of my friends tell me, is that I wear my sneakers. And with some of these limited-edition ones, such as the Off-White pairs, they immediately lose their resale value once they're worn. But I buy them because I like them and I want to wear them; not just display them," he says in his British-accented English, expounding on his sneaker obsession with childlike enthusiasm.
