永垂不朽/ FASHION ETERNAL. JIMMY CHOO AND ILLIZA HO INTERVIEW


訪問和拍攝/ Interview and photos : Nick D
翻譯/ Translation : Jose Chu
特別鳴謝/ Special Thanks : 香港設計中心設計創業培育計劃 Hong Kong Design Center, DIP.

Jimmy Choo in the house! Jimmy Chooooo! The Hong Kong DIP program invited world renown shoemaker Jimmy Choo to come talk to the incubates with his protégé Illiza Ho. What an opportunity to talk shop with the master in an intimate setting! We needed to pick his brain for the formula of success in the fashion industry, apply it, and share the message. Illiza was also interesting as a foil to Jimmy’s insights, as her handbag brand is just a few years old, and growing. Check out the lively exchange shared below.

是Jimmy Choo阿!!香港設計中心設計創業培育計劃邀請了著名鞋履設計師Jimmy Choo周仰杰和他的徒弟Illiza Ho來到我們這裡跟一班培育計劃下的新創公司們分享。不少Jimmy Choo在時尚行業的經驗很值得我們借鏡。Illiza Ho的新品牌也很讓我們大感興趣。

< < ENGLISH CONTINUES AFTER CHINESE >>

SP: 你好嗎Mr. Jimmy Choo ,可以分享一下我們現在在那裡嗎?
Jimmy Choo: 我一直在世界各地旅行。一路上去教育和指導了很多年輕人,與他們交談,並且分享我的經驗。你知道,我是英國文化協會校友全球大使,又是已故的戴安娜王妃慈善基金大使。還有馬來西亞旅遊大使哈哈!所以我一直在旅行,推廣我的慈善事業和國家。同時間去進行不少教育工作,了解世界各地不同部分,談論我的經驗。當然還有和Illiza一起經營她的手提包生意。

SP: 你覺得要去建立一個像Jimmy Choo的國際品牌過程中,勤力有多重要?
JC: 以前個個都說要勤力,但現在勤力真的不是很重要。最緊要是學懂如何建立你的個人網絡。在過去,大家都都知道勤力可以做到很多事情,但現在的世界任何東西都在網上,Facebook、Instagram等。所以你應該要知道如何利用這些途徑推廣你自已,你要懂得連接今日、現在最緊要的是什麼。做生意不只是勤力,而是要聰明。好像以前當我開始我的生意時,我們沒有聲譽。即使我的鞋只是15磅卻無人問津。今天它最起碼要500美元,但很多人會付這個錢…所以設計師們最緊要的是學懂如何照顧自己。他們當然要工作,但無需要付出更多更多的努力。作為一個設計師需要花很多時間在生產和設計這些工作上,工時很長,因此我們需要更加聰明一點。要學懂與別人分工合作。不要為這些小生意放棄自己的生活。當我開始我的事業時,沒有人理會我,那就讓我先買一些很便宜的鞋吧。這些便宜的鞋可以幫助到我的經濟和生活,而且支持我想做的事。當然我不會寫上Jimmy Choo的名字,我只是做一些手工鞋,但這些就是錢、你的收入,所以你必須思考更多去改變你的想法。我把這些鞋子買進市場但不會用Jimmy Choo的名字,而且我只賣給店舖的人,這個錢也可以讓我走得更遠。

SP: 這講法很有趣,因為很多人都覺得名聲很重要。
JC: NO!這就是為什麼人們經常會說「你為什麼要跟他交往呢?」看看我,當我開始我的事業時我什麼都不是,我必需由底做起。所以如果這刻我可以幫到別人,Why not?不是因爲錢或任何利益,而是我內心很開心、滿足的。如果我是很想要錢,你知道我可以再去找一個大投資者,開始一個新的品牌。但我已經停止了那一種工作,現在最緊要的是我對我的工作感到快樂。我現在在世界各地旅行,例如到處遊歷去分享我的經驗,就像今天來到這裡分享我的經歷,我已經很開心了。 通常我們相信人, 我們說我們將相信人們十萬年,所以你們來和他們談談。 你明白?

毒品/BEHIND THE SCENES. KNITWEAR SYMPHONY 2016 PT. 3

Truly a symphony. This fashion show was “Mobb Deep”. An ensemble cast of knitwear flavors from the up-and-coming in Hong Kong. Organized by the good people at HKKIDS (Hong Kong Knitwear Association, lets say), there was some real talent to be had in this season’s crop. Hong Kong’s future is in some capable hands. Hopefully these young guns will be allowed to foster on home turf! We sent in a worse for wear, Nick D to photograph the proceedings backstage and somehow he turned some, “too cool for school” models into a laughing and smiling mess! PT. 3.
