CB: Continuing the BBC and Ice Cream DNA and expanding on it and doing
some very fun collaborations. We did the Despicable me 2 collaboration and
we have a Spongebob collaboration coming out as well. So just a lot of fun
projects and a continuation of the quirkiness of our brand.
TR: What are your career goals for the near future?
CB: I like to share knowledge and experience. It means a lot to me to be
able to give back to up and coming designers and help them in their own
path with their design skill and brand. I want to be a teacher and continue to
grow as a creative person.
TR: Out of all the places you have traveled, where do they have the most
unique and innovative sense of style?
CB: I’d have to say Japan. I love how they interpret global style and own it. I
think that in the Japanese culture they are great at taking little things that
may not mean so much to us and make a world out of it. I also enjoy being
in London, I like the Saddle Row scene, the craftsmanship and the heritage
of fine tailoring.
TR: What would we find on your iPod right now?
CB: I’m listening to this band Tame Impala from Australia. They are kind of
“Beatles-esque,” real funky guys. Rock and roll but they definitely got some
soul to them. I have Kanye on rotation, John Legend’s new album and I love
old soul music. I’m an old school kind of guy.
TR: Lastly, what advice would you give to any up and comers that want to
do what you do?
CB: Learn the craft. Truly do the science behind it. Find yourself somebody
that you respect in the field and listen to their advice. It helps. It has helped
me get to where I am today. And never burn a bridge.
