"When I started law school in 2010 and landed my first job at a men’s outfitter, I browsed through street style photography for inspiration. Through Tommy Ton’s blog Jak & Jil I came across Milan Vukmirovic and his magazine Fashion For Men. Since I felt like men’s fashion was often treated as second class, this magazine was a complete revelation to me. Until today, I have almost every issue.So, I’m very happy to have Milan on The Wasted Hour Podcast and to share our conversation from September with you. We talked about the last fashion piece he bought, the legendary Paris concept store Colette, working as a designer at Gucci and Jil Sander, shooting his first photos under a fake name and, of course, Fashion For Men.Thank you Milan, for being part of The Wasted Hour.
