Vanguard
Q.
What is your favourite boutique in your hometown?
A.
Jono : I would hate to pick out favourites but the best kept secret is the new Bo & Arrow boutique at West End. Great fitout and location and a good mix of local and national labels. Sam : Outpost in the Valley. Clean Street style boutique with a great feel that mixes skate, street and art culture.
Q.
What is your favourite city in the world?
A.
Jono: I would have to say New York which is a very deserving cliched answer for all the reasons that anyway has been there will tell you. Looking forward to heading there again in January for G'Day USA 2010. Sam: I'd say Tokyo would be my favourite so far. So many rad little alleyways with amazing boutiques and small bars and restaurants. You can lose yourself for hours in Tokyo.
Q.
Whose personal style do you admire and why?
A.
Sam : One of my buddies Tyler Atkins. Modern day globe travelling Hippie.
Q.
Who is your favourite Australian model?
A.
Sam: Abbey Lee Kershaw or Jess Hart. Too hard to choose.
Q.
What's your favourite piece from your current collection and why?
A.
Jono: From the Winter collection it would have to be the Real Deal leather shirt because it is basically a reinterpretation of the classical leather jacket mixed with the age old button up shirt. Sam: I'd have to go with the Neo Tribal Sweater which is a black and white jacquard double knit sweater. Love my knits in the Winter!
Q.

Q.
Describe your personal style in a sentence
A.
Jono: Our personal style is fairly similar - relatively laidback and casual. Usually styled with washed or distressed pieces as basics and a good leather jacket when its cold enough.
