Chef, tie designer,
photographer, stylist, executive assistance, bag designer and baker
extraordinaire are just a few of the hats worn by this enterprising man.
Introducing Jeremy Vander Noord, this weeks wardrobe heart throb. It took four
fun filled hours, two bottles of Prosecco and one digital memory stick to
capture the amazing style embodied in this wardrobe. What we adore most are the
narratives embedded within each item. There is a story for each piece and its
journey from the production line to Mr Vander Noord's closet. The cargo pants
worn by his brother as a 15-year-old cadet, his uncle’s vintage pimp suit, the
Ebay vintage Burburry trench buy, the net a porter shoes on sale. This is why
Jeremy's wardrobe is a two-week project. It simply wouldn’t be right to cram
all of this style into one peep.

The fashion moment
you'd rather forget: A t-shirt I
bought when I was 16 with about 20 cartoonish pot-smoking Rastafari on it
Physical Vs. Online
shopping? Physical, but online is
becoming more of a habit. Once you know your size…
Rich biiish or bargain
hunter? or You spend HOW MUCH on your Threads?!?! I do very occasionally pay full price… but usually I
find the bargains. I did miscalculate once in the US and paid an airfare for a
pair of Paul Harnden pants…
You wake up in the
morning and think what would... wear, who is your style-spiration? No-one particular. I dress for myself.

obsession? Navy blue/White t-shirts. Has
been and will be a life long obsession.
I thought it was a good
idea at the time... the item you bought but have never been able to pull off: Initially the very wide-legged Paul Harnden pants,
which I subsequently altered myself. I wear them a lot more now.

Dico

bits of everything and collecting my own ideas of beauty

more minimal future however.
