Welcome to the discovery zone. This week, the boys are in LA and getting cerebral with co-founder and co-creative director of Opening Ceremony, former co-creative director of Kenzo and co-founder of the restaurant Chifa, Humberto Leon. Humberto was kind enough to host us in his office to dig into his best in class pedigree, how it all started at Old Navy and Gap, rare vintage denim, the magic of merchant mastery, 20 years of highlights and lowlights at OC, grandiose fashion show memories with Rhianna and Chloë Sevigny, cooking up plays with Spike Jonze, low-key nights with Solange, how he discovers new brands in 2022, working at Kenzo inside the LVMH machine, how to push back against corporate red tape, Americana cringe, Asian gangster style, snobs of all stripes, his favorite place in the world to eat, the worst food trends of 2022, what to cook on the third date and much more on this quick and quirky episode of The Only Podcast That Matters™.
