What are some of your shining moments in life?
Well…I am not sure how to interpret “shine” in this case. In my own words, it would be something like this — when I am true to myself, when I am working, or when I work out and keep to my daily routine, I’d like to think that I’m doing well. Also, when I meet and talk to people I like. There are moments when you don’t want to waste a second to even look at the time because you don’t want the time to go by. Those are the moments that shine.
What styles do you enjoy?
Something that’s so natural to the wearer that, intentional or not, feels like a part of him. I believe I can convince people that I’m confident no matter how ridiculous the style is if I appear comfortable in it. Establishing a solid self… that’s really neat [but] I think I would come across arrogant trying to be that when I’m only 28. I’m still a novice.
