Unzipped: Michael Christofis

NAME
Michael Christofis

SOMETIMES PEOPLE CALL ME
Oh Mickey what a pity, you don’t understand.

I EARN A CRUST BY
Immersing myself in virtual advertising and connecting the industry through moving simulacra. Baudrillard, you’d be proud.

JUST BEFORE I ANSWERED THESE I WAS
Checking my tyres for kindergarten chalk marks that law enforcers draw in their spare time.

MY WORST HABIT IS
Taking too much protein powder in the hope of becoming a unit.

IF I WERE A FASHION ITEM I'D BE A
AussieBum wonderjock

WHO I'D LIKE TO BE IF NOT ME
Mickey Mouse, my protégé

PEOPLE TELL ME I'M
Speeding in the wrong lane at the wrong time – it's a prerequisite for getting to work on time.

MY WARDROBE FAVOURITE IS
My Armani Bomber Jacket.

IF I COULD BANISH ONE TREND IT WOULD BE
Tetris coloured squares, printed on couture. 

MELBOURNE IS THE NATION'S FASHION CAPITAL BECAUSE
After looking at their architectural disaster nearamnew, at least Melbourne’s fashion federates all.

MY BIGGEST  SPLURGE WAS
At The Strand Arcade, where I swiped my credit card more times then a child on Kool Aid. I bought every V-Neck coloured sweater from designer, Catherine Maplebrown.

MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS BUT
When I drive a convertible, hmmm no valium necessary for this uptake.

I'VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE THIS BUT
I really like coloured V-necks.

WHEN DOWN TO MY LAST $1000 - TOM FORD OR TARGET?
Messiah Ford can turn my rags into riches with a mere grand. Target couldn’t perform such miracles and if they did, they ought to be chastised.
 
WHAT THIS INDUSTRY NEEDS IS
More Sean Ashby’s, using charm, wit and the power of being a bum. About time we marvelled at the sight of such modern ingenuity.
