Style Profile
David Chum
“If I had time, I’d just sew myself a wardrobe.”
“I buy T-shirts from Calico in New Bedford. They do mostly women’s vintage and indie designers.”
“I’ve come to like black, but I used to hate it. I like white and neutrals like camel. I don’t usually wear patterns or bright colors.”
“I need to start my spring collection. I’m not a spring designer. Fall is my jam. Everything I do is so structured.”
“I’m completely self-taught, which is good and bad. I feel like a mad scientist in my studio.”
“For jeans I love Levi’s. It’s my big thing. And H&M and American Apparel. I’m a skinny boy, so as long as they’re slim...”
“I love Unplugged Museum, a great menswear line from South Korea.”
“I feel like I’ve been looking for spats forever. My friend gave these to me as a gift. I want to make some myself.”
