Ok folks, here’s instalment #3 of “model stuff…” (note to self: I really need a better title).

A huge thank you to the legend dark dutch3ss for taking the time to get involved. Looking back at the questions, it felt less like a Q&A and more like an interrogation 🙂

I hope you appreciate the insights shared here. From our side of apparel, it’s really important to recognise and value the time, effort, and energy models put into representing not just a brand, but a culture — and hopefully encouraging people to feel comfortable being themselves.

Make sure you check out and give them a follow. And take another look at Restless Outcast &Spooky Little Redhead

What was the first piece of clothing that made you feel like yourself?

Ok sooo.. i think the first piece of clothing that made me feel myself was a tshirt from forgotten sons, I’d never been allowed to wear dark alt clothing until about 6 years ago, always had to ‘conform’ to dressing like a lady 🤣 Forgotten sons was the brand that started it all for me 🖤

Do you wear brands for the look, the message, or the people behind them — and why?

I wear brands for a number of reasons, some covey messages that are very close to my heart ,some have some truly sick designs, some have a community that I want to be apart of and most are small up coming brands that I think deserve a lot of support to get them off the ground and be seen 🖤

What makes you stop scrolling and actually care about a brand online?

I like brands that care more about their brands than followers, likes etc, the ones that do it because they enjoy it, the ones that show their appreciation to you for repping their brand, the ones that interact with you, even if its a dm saying thank you, you end up building a report and I’ve made some truly great friends that own brands 🖤

What band or artist soundtracked your entry into the alt scene?

There have been a few bands that kinda got me into the alt scene,id listened to Slipknot, mudvayne, system of a down etc but the band that truly got me there was Bring me the horizon..Thanks to my best friend who is no longer with us,that band has saved my life more than once 🖤
