Why did you move to Amsterdam?
Nice city: gay minded and especially creative and sparkling.
What do you like to do in Amsterdam?
Good food, play tennis and sailing in boats.
What do you think of Amsterdam street culture,
how the people dress, express themselves?
The street culture is very diverse in style. That colorful diversity
is very stimulating for designers and envigours the street’s
appearance.
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.
I don’t really have one style, but I do think that the influences
from the street influence my way of dressing. It changed a bit
but not that much.
Are you influenced by what you consider Dutch culture or
by any other culture represented in Amsterdam?
I can’t really say, It’s better to say that I have inherited the Dutch
culture: a big amount of friendliness and a healthy down to earth
mind.
Are you aware of the fact that 177 cultures are
represented in Amsterdam?
I think I broadened the boarders of tolerance. In spite of some
very extreme cultures the presence of such a diversity of
cultures brings a lot of inspiration, pleasure and joi de vivre.
