A few years back I bought a pop wars, ever since I've been riding pop wars and habitats exclusively. I haven't snapped one yet and they make great carpet boards after your done with them I must add. Before that I rode all the monstermold (enjoi etc) boards and I personally don't think they compare

I think going single brand is pretty difficult. I mean, surely there must be a period/collection where you just don't like any of it enough to fork out. However, I reckon dedicating yourself to a store is more feasible. You wind up getting direct benifits for loyalty, you get invited to their special loyalty customer nights, parties, you can get jobs there if they're hiring. With a brand, unless you're hot shit and you worship a start-up smaller brand, it seems you're unlikely to gain any real benifits, except not having to think about what you wear.

What did you do there?

Where did HF,Nigo and the rest of teh jp crew go? lol

I think they went to Bunka in Tokyo, or at least some of them did. Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo went to Keio University also in Tokyo.

Dang, I like this thread too. I'm currently looking for a job and cos I haven't really needed one, I've been really slack about it. I'm in my last year of a marketing degree and it seems like there is not much available along those lines and there are a million marketing graduates. Also, I have found that most people in rad marketing roles didn't get there by knowing about marketing, they got their by knowing the product. Computer people sell computers, fashion people market clothes, music people market music etc. But yeah, there are the common solutions, the connections, the dress code, the friendliness, the respectable and colourful CV. I guess the issue for me is not knowing about enough different jobs. I'm sure there must be like a whole bunch that I just would never have thought of and don't know the channels to get to them.

I graduate LCF and am interning at the moment at a magazine, not saying it doesn't help, but if you're doing styling especially no point going to uni as it will not help at all. But if you are designing then you need to learn of course, but so many places take on interns and if the interest is there they will teach you the rest.

Uni is excellent experience and i had the best time, but sometimes it isn't worth it when you know you're gonna have to go and intern anyway. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I feel silly asking this but how do you come about internships? Maybe its the thing to do where your from but it seems as though they're few and far between in my part of the world. Any advice? I'm thinking of going to fashion school too. But even if I don't, an internship would be killer.
