Our interview with Nicholas Daley is all about the three C's: community, craftsmanship and culture. Nicholas—the founder and designer of the eponymous brand—took time out of a busy market week to swing by the stu for some banter on taking a tumble in Paris, his whirlwind world tour, Japanese Jamaican fusion, his crazy talented crew of classmates at Central Saint Martins, getting high off the soundsystem frequencies, his parents were the coolest, lessons from a decade in the business, what it's like making it into the actual Met (and the gala too), learning to trademark your IP the hard way, interning under Sir Paul Smith's chaotic genius, what's the vibe like on Saville Row these days, how his major markets in the US, UK and Japan differ, momentum and loyalty are everything, digging into heritage when it comes to nailing his collaborations, who he's pulling for in the World Cup might surprise you, and much more on Nicholas Daley's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.
