Episode 5: Choices ft Mo Liv

Jack of all Trades ft Saint Krstphr

Kris & I are used to seeing each other in and around the local scene. Interesting thing about creative/inspiring people - you meed their brand before you meet them in person! When we caught up at The Ivy he was with a client and I was working (typical) - we ending up chopping it up of just 20mins and I was sold on his vision straight away. The synergies was there... I told myself this NEEDS to be documented! The way Kris infuses fashion, art and culture is very inspiring, a real modern day creative. As I call him Manchester's very own Loius Vuitton Don. If you are into creating through your purpose/passion then this episode is deffo for you.
