NAME James Tesoriero
SOMETIMES PEOPLE CALL ME: JT, sometimes they don't call me at all.
I EARN A CRUST BY: peddling and designing footwear for Urge.
JUST BEFORE I ANSWERED THESE I WAS : on the CrackBerry talking with accounts working on my carpal tunnel syndrome.
MY WORST HABIT IS: laughing at something when it's highly inappropriate, usually when I'm in an important meeting.
IF I WERE A FASHION ITEM I'D BE A: pair of shoes because I'm always on the go and I'm not scared to get a little dirty.
WHO I'D LIKE TO BE IF NOT ME? Chaz Michael Michaels. He's got all the moves. See Blades Of Glory if you don't know what I'm talking about.
PEOPLE TELL ME I'M: annoyingly happy which I guess is better than being annoyingly grumpy.
MY WARDROBE FAVOURITE IS: a plain white deep-plunging V-neck Tee, good pair of jeans and of course a pair of Urge Randy's. An outfit made up of completely timeless pieces.
IF I COULD BANISH ONE TREND IT WOULD BE (AND WHY): Crocs. My dear father thinks they're the best things ever made. Lucky my love for him is totally unconditional otherwise he'd be brushed.
MELBOURNE/SYDNEY/WAGGA WAGGA/TOWNSVILLE IS THE NATION'S FASHION CAPITAL BECAUSE: Sydney, because there's such diversity in the people that live there it seems there's more variety in the fashion.
MY BIGGEST SPLURGE WAS: a Ferrari. You can get the coolest remote control toys in Hong Kong.
MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS BUT: I'd still like to have a whole lot of it just to see for myself.
I'VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE THIS BUT I once watched back-to-back episodes of The Hills.
WHEN DOWN TO MY LAST $1000 - TOM FORD OR TARGET? Go out looking sharp. Tom Ford.
WHAT THIS INDUSTRY NEEDS IS: a positive attitude.
