For the first Design Your Life episode of 2020 Vince speaks to Alan Aboud, one of the most well-known creative directors in the fashion industry. Alan worked alongside designer Paul Smith for over 25 years constructing the unique look and feel of the iconic brand, including the world-renowned use of the multi-stripe design.
Alan unravels the story behind his early years as a design student and how he first started working with Paul Smith. Through-out the chat he touches on multiple life experiences which shaped his understanding of design whilst also casting some light onto how his mind set has changed over time.
Vince and Alan also trade their thoughts on why it’s integral for creative minds to remain financially savvy in the industry.
Enjoy!
On the next episode of Design Your Life we will be joined by Sydney based hair guru and sustainability entrepreneur Paul Frasca.
