What three items would you bring to a deserted island and why?
I’d bring my guitar, because I’d die without music, and matches to light a fire. And, of course, my girlfriend, she’s the best company I could ask for.
What’s your favourite comfort food?
My favourite comfort food is hummus. If I could only have it for the rest of my life, I’d die happy.
Tattoos or bare skin?
I have tattoos, but I don’t want any more, because I’ve realised my taste changes too often.
What’s your favourite season, and which season is it the easiest to be fashionable?
Winter, the most underrated season! You can layer clothes easily and you’ll never be too hot! Plus, I hate the sun..
What’s your go-to cocktail on a date?
I usually don’t drink cocktails, because they’re too expensive for my liking, so beer is my go-to.
Do you like to cook? What’s the best dish you’ve ever made and the worst?
Well, I have to cook. My favorite meal to prepare is mushroom risotto, while the worst I’ve ever made is pasta with ketchup, sorry (Laughs, E.D.).
What’s your favourite TV show of all time?
My favourite is probably ‘Peep Show’, a British sitcom about two very different flatmates.

What did you dream of becoming as a child?
Since I was six, I’ve always wanted to be a rockstar.
Do you have a favourite piece of art?
Anything by my Australian friend James Velinyl.
What’s your idea of a perfect day?
Staying in bed, honestly. I’m lazy (Laughs, E.D.).
Who’s your fashion role model?
To be honest with you, I don’t have a fashion role model at the moment.
What’s the best present you’ve ever gifted and the best you’ve received?
Probably, getting tickets for my girlfriend to see the ‘New Order’! As to me, my guitar is the best gift I’ve ever received.
What’s your weirdest quality?
I’m extremely flexible!
What’s your favourite thing to do on a night out with friends?
I love to play music with my friends, we just show up with our guitars.

What’s you favourite day of the week and why?
It’s Saturday, because I can sleep in.
Do you stay up-to-date with the news?
No, I don’t. News is depressing. I know what’s going on, but I don’t check it out a lot.
Sweet or savoury?
Sweet in the evening, savoury in the day.
What’s one misbelief that people often have about you?
…that I’m rude! Don’t worry, I’m just socially awkward.
What’s you favourite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
These velour trousers I bought in Paris for 4€, they go everywhere with me.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Time travel, of course! I want to meet Frank Zappa so bad!
