A few other things worth mentioning…
Photography…At the beginning of my career I had the good fortune to work with, and represent, an inspiring group of artists, many of whom had a lasting impact on our appreciation of photography and fashion and its role in contemporary culture. Mario Sorrenti, Glen Luchford, Ellen v. Unwerth, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Nigel Shafran, Venetia Scott, Izzy Blow…but also people I worked for like Kim Sion and Camilla Lowther…creatives like Peter Saville…All of these individuals in their own particular way shaped my aesthetics and thinking, shared an understanding and appreciation of the creative process, and provided me with invaluable insights and learnings which continue to play a role in my professional and personal life.
It all started with…
Everyone has a favorite project which had a lasting impression on your professional career but
resonated on a personal level as well. In my case that would most definitely and without a doubt be Uniqlo. Starting in ‘06, MP Creative, the agency I was then working for, was commissioned with a Rebrand, and subsequently became lead creative partner to manage and oversee the Marketing and Communication Strategy supporting their Global Growth and Expansion into the US, Europe and Asia. Working with great creatives like Markus Kiersztan, Ben Sandler, Matt Eberhart and John Moeller at MP, as well as legendary CD Kashiwa Sato was a unique and highly rewarding experience. We were also blessed with a trusting and supportive client in UNIQLO and one of the most hardworking team of executives I ever met, backed by a visionary chairman in Tadashi Yanai and I think the results speak for themselves.
