JAS DOING WHAT HE DOES BEST...

INTERVIEW FROM www.citizen-clothing.com

RS-DTA-JASPA

So this is what I hope to be the start of a a group of mini interviews. They all have the general focus on streetwear but really never dicuss streetwear directly. It’s really hear to give you insight as to who runs these companies and there personalities.

This was a short internet interview I did with Jasper from Rogue Status.

Where were you born?
ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL NORTH LONDON
What brought you to the US?
I HAVE A U.S PASSPORT SO I THOUGHT I MIGHT AS WELL COME OVER, WRECK THE PLACE, AND TAKE ALL YOUR WOMEN AND MONEY! OH YEA, SNOWBOARDING. I DID A SEASON IN MAMMOTH CA BEFORE MOVING TO LA.
What Streetwear/skatewear/boardsport or bike sport companies
influenced you as a child growing up in UK?
I GUESS ADDICT, WE THREW SOME PARTY’S WITH THEM IN SOUTHAMPTON BACK IN THE DAY. DAVE IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS YOU HOPE TO BE LIKE WHEN YOUR 40. I GUESS I WAS REALLY INTO SKATE BRANDS BEFORE THAT. OH YEH, NIKE AIR MAX 90′S AND 1′S. I HAD TO HAVE THEM.

Where do you feel that Rogue Status draws it’s ideas and passion from?
LIFE

Who shoots most of the photos for your blogs?
WELL, I GUESS ITS WHOEVER IS DOING THE MOST FUN SHIT, WHICH IS USUALLY ME. I LOVE TO TRAVEL. LA IS KIND OF CRAP…

US Football or Real FUTBOL(as us latin americans say it)?
I FUCKING HATE AMERICAN FOOTBALL. ARSENAL IS MY HOME TEAM, TOP OF
THE PREMIERSHIP OF COURSE, THERES NOTHING LIKE BEING AT A BIG GAME, COUPLE PINTS DEEP.

Does any North American made beer compare to a good ole pint from home?
NO, ITS ALL BRASS, AND NO, I DON’T GIVE A FUCK HOW ITS BREWED AND WHO’S GRANDPA SPENT HIS WHOLE LIFE MAKING THAT SHIT, FUCK IT. I
PREFER A PINT OF WIFE BEATER ANY DAY.

#1 most influential style of music while growing up????

I FIRST STARTED LISTENING TO JUNGLE ON PIRATE RADIO WHEN I WAS ABOUT 10. I GOT INTO HIP HOP SOON AFTER. I LOVE PIRATE RADIO
STATIONS, RADIO IN LA IS FUCKING SHIT, REALLY, HOW THE FUCK DOES ANYONE KNOW WHATS GOING ON IN THE REST OF THE WORLD? PISSES ME
RIGHT OFF, I STOPPED LISTENING TO RADIO AS SOON AS I MOVED OUT TO THIS DRY PEICE OF DESERT SHIT HOLE LAND.

Phillie Blunts or rolling papers?
PAPERS, YEH, YOU ARE ALL REAL COOL SMOKING BLUNTS! FUCK THAT SHIT, I CANT EVEN TALK AFTER SMOKING ONE OF THEM!

Was Rogue Status your first venture into the fashion industry?
NO, I USED STEAL LOADS OF SHIT FROM THE STORES I WORKED AT, AND SELL THEM TO MY SCHOOL MATES. IT PAID FOR ME TO TRAVEL. (DON’T
STEAL FROM JEFF, KIDS)

Any shout outs?

I WOULD LIKE TO SHOUT OUT ALL THOSE FUCKING PUSSY KIDS WHO FUCKED EVERYTHING UP, YEA YOU. GO GET SOME FUCKING CRED, YOU CAN’T BUY IT
IN A STORE, EARN IT ON THE STREETS….. BUNCH OF PUSSY FUCKS.
