Age: 37 [dammit!!]
Nationality: Londoner, British
Occupation: Nike Change Agent
In Amsterdam: 6 years
Why did you move to Amsterdam?
To work for Nike, & get the hell out of London for a while.
What do you like to do in Amsterdam?
Hanging out with mates...dj-ing when I can in Amsterdam,
people watching, gotta see events...just gotta.
What do you think of Amsterdam street culture,
how the people dress, express themselves?
Followers, most of the trends picked up on are at least 9 months
behind London. There are fashionably few, who are on it, with
a London, or Stockholm style, but generally, people in Amsterdam
play it VERY safe.
Did your style of clothing changed since you live here, and
because of what? These can be emotional, cultural reasons
or practical reasons such as weather or availability.
Amsterdam has not affected my style. I’ve always been an
individual & I still prefer to look at London, Paris or NYC rather
than AMS.
Are you influenced by what you consider Dutch culture
or by any other culture represented in Amsterdam?
What I appreciate about AMS, is the immediacy of everything.
If you commit to doing something, [event-hopping/socializing]
it’s easy to do in AMS...LDN, was a nightmare!
Are you aware of the fact that 177 cultures
are represented in Amsterdam?
Amsterdam is not as integrated, as that number seems to suggest
in my opinion. It has a long way to go, to make cultures feel
that they can flourish, without feeling alienated & ostracized.
