Meet Sam Holden and Jarrod Reid


What's your name?

Sam Holden.

What do you do and why do you do it?

I work in fast paced retail management, I think you either love working in retail or you don't. I love it. In-between that, I freelance myself and work on social media strategy/campaigns for creative projects and businesses.

Where do you live?

Wellington, NZ!

Do you mind telling us your age?

22.

What do you like about clothes?

The ability to express your mood or personality. Clothes can tell people to maybe stay away or even spark a conversation through what you're wearing (like a Daniel Palillo jersey with hands hanging off of it).

What's your worst habit?

Is procrastinating a habit...?

When you were young did you get hassled at school?

Not too bad..I was openly gay in a catholic college, I was friends with lots of girls so if guys were mean to me then the girls threw shade at the guys. In primary school though, this one guy used to call me "happy Sam"... I later on realised what the "happy" part meant.

What are your most used emoji's?

What's your guilty pleasure?

Burger King voucher deals...

What do you do when you want to be good to your body?

Go to bed early, drink lots of water, not eat BK..

What do you like about clothes?

The whole self-expression through clothing is such a turn on! I don’t like clothing to be too serious and I think fashion can be a fun escape from reality.

What's your worst habit?

When you were young did you get hassled at school?

Yeah, in primary I used to get teased for playing pokemon yellow while the other boys played rugby. No regrets.

What are your most used emoji's?

Which people are icons for you in terms of your own style?

Grimes for sure, she’s just so gr8 I love her vibe. Also - Leigh Bowery has been a muse for me; his relationship towards clothing is so inspiring.
