Where are you right now?

Right now I’m in Brussels working in the Laid back office (http://ldbk.eu), enjoying the sun shining through the window and listening to my Croatian partner TomE’s latest mix

Describe your mood with a picture?

On this picture you can see Guifari (http://www.flickr.com/photos/guifari) from the Farm Prod collective preparing a wall for the Kosmopolite festival Brussels edition.

Tell me about what you are working on now?

I’m currently preparing the Kosmopolite Art Tour, an international street art festival gathering some 50 artists from all over Europe. Laid Back is communication partner for the Brussels edition starting on the 7^th of May.

More info: http://kosmo-art-tour.com

What inspires you?

Stories! Passion! I used to consider ordinary people as neighborhood heroes. Check for instance this incredible report in one of Brooklyn’s most famous barbershop > http://www.laid-back.be/blog/?p=3455 This is what we call Laid back‘s all school flavor…

What is your favorite tech gadget?

My iPhone. I tried other phones before but nothing can beat Apple’s usability and design. Now mine would look even better with one of your nice sleeves. The Classic Black Matt looks fly!

What is the best part of your day?

Waking up next to my lovely girlfriend. Opening my eyes and seeing her next to me fill me with love and energy.

What would you love to do and have not done yet?

So many things! I’d like to travel the world. Find some 70’s funk legends in Turkey. Dig for record in Ethiopia. Go for a trek in Nepal. I’d like to have children and make them listen to music all day. I’d like to participate in a triathlon…

What is “chic”?

I’m not too sure I know what “chic” is. I would go for street smart instead. I recently discovered that wearing a suit could be cool!

What was your personal style like as a kid/teenager?

I was into Hip Hop and Basketball as a teenager so it was all about sneakers, baggy pants and t-shirts.

What will you do after the interview?

I have to go to for a video interview in film school Rits (http://www.rits.be/information-about-rits), they want to produce a short piece about the Kosmopolite festival. See you soon and good luck with your project.

Julien Mourlon’s Laid Back Radio & Magazine – All School Flavor

She is funny, smart and exciting like a fresh glass of champagne, she is Audrey Zinger or aZZed (a personnal joke with her initials) and as she says herself : “I’ve become much crasy!” when we decided to make this blog-contest with her.
She fully accepts his geek side in addition to his passion for shopping so we necessarily got a lot of things in common!
It is the Python Metallic Navy Blue iPhone cases model that was showcased on the blog of aZZed with over 45 reviews of participating in a blog post-contest : what a success!

We  welcome aZZed in the Velvet Idole family.

Some random pictures taken by members of the team Velvet Idole

Where are you right now?

I’m in my hotel room in New Jersey close to the airport. I’m stuck in New York with a friend because of the volcano in Island! But it could be worse than being stuck in New York with a paid hotel and some money for the road….(big smile)

Descripe your mood in a picture?

Tell me about what you are working on now?

I’m currently organizing some promotions, I’m about to archive my over 1000 street style pictures for a book, I have some styling work and I’am about to produce a new re-styling show with my partner Najat Zinbi for Schweizer Illustrierte Online. And there is a side-project with a photographer and a painter I am very excited for…So there’s something going on like always!!!

What inspires you?

Everything that catches my eye, could be nature, brick-walls, skyscrapers and architecture, people in the subway, poverty and richness – and at the moment Melanie, my friend and model, we took some pictures on a roof in Brooklyn today and it was terrific!

What is your favorite tech gadget?

My camera and my iphone!

What is the best part of your day?

I love to snuggle under the blanket in the bed at night (or in the morning).

What would you love to do and have not done yet?

Driving from Switzerland to Marocco (still dreaming of Gibraltar and Tanger) or even South Africa…and go on a sailing-boat for a world trip!

What is “chic”?

Drinking Champagne in the middle of the day, wearing a evening dress for the walk to the supermarket…

What was your personal style like as a kid/teenager?

It was a boyish style like pants with a turtleneck pullover or jumpsuits in the 70s as a kid and in the 80s as a teenager with horrible stone-washed jeans and fancy colours and a permanent wave! But I’m falling in love with the 80s again…

What will you do after the interview?

I will finally go to bed cause it’s seven in the morning. I talked a lot to my friend, I organized pictures, blogged and did some other work…time to say good night!!!!
