Adam Bramwell. Age 27.
Occupation: Account Coordinator/Youth Education Specialist at Crowell Advertising.
Q: What are you wearing?
A: Rainbow Sandals, Levi’s Courduroy Pants, Dover Arrow vintage shirt, Wool hat from Czech Republic.
Q: Where did you get it?
A: Got the Rainbow Sandals at the company outlet in Southern California – the Levi’s came from the epitome of high fashion that is Costco, the Dover Arrow shirt came from a Salvation Army, and I honestly have no idea how the hat became a part of my wardrobe. If you had a gun to my head, I couldn’t tell ya where it came from.
Q: Describe your look.
A: I think I’d classify myself as an “indie” dresser – although my hat today can turn any look into a more “Newsies” look really quick.
Q: Would you describe your outfit as spontaneous or thought-out?
A: Totally spontaneous today – it was one of the last shirts in there. See #6.
Q: Who do you consider fashionable?
A: I think some people around Crowell really are snappy dressers – Phil, of course – but I really don’t spend too much time looking at other people’s clothes on the whole. I think the only person/character that’s ever taken me back by how constantly badass they look is Brad Pitt in the “Oceans xx” movies – some really, really awesome wardrobe work there.
Q: Your fashion advice?
A: I’m currently in the winding down phase of a social experiment that I’ve entitled “The Heap”. I rent a two bedroom apartment, and my room-mate recently moved out – so I have a vacant room for a little while. I decided one day that I had a lot – and I mean a lot – of clothes. So, in an effort to scrutinize what I do/don’t wear, I’ve decided that I’m not going to wash any article of clothing (save underwear and socks) until I have worn every item that I have in my closet at least once. All dirty clothes go into the heap, which is about 4 feet tall as I type. I’m getting down to the dregs, and it’s really showing me what I do/don’t like. There are some things in there that I have for purely sentimental reasons and am not looking forward in any capacity to wearing. Thus far, I’ve found like 15 pieces of clothing I can purge. So – that’s my advice: if you’re bogged down by clothes, start a heap. It’s been a really interesting and fun little experiment, as it’s forcing me to wear stuff that I have but don’t wear too often because of one reason or another and is helping me to eliminate clutter. (Although the 5 or 6 loads of laundry when it’s all said and done won’t be any fun. Nor will my flannel long sleeved shirts in Utah summer.)
Q: What do you find extremely unfashionable?
A: I’m really not into the pseudo retro shirts. But I think the cardinal sin are the shirts with the “snappy” phrases on them. Ie: “Go ahead, keep talking –I’ll keep acting like I’m listening.” Or “Your girlfriend picked this out for me.” What are those people trying to accomplish by wearing that article of clothing? I just don’t get it. In the words of Jimmy from South Park: “I mean, come on.”
