I met one of my inspirations at his own sample sale, David Kollar, founder of Kollar Clothing.

Yes, I lived in a very fashionable country, but there was always some form of disconnect with everyone else, and a boundary I couldn’t cross. Girls were always prim and proper, never having a strand of hair out of place; boys with their neatly rolled up sleeves never taking a risk with dirty combat boots and ripped up jeans.
