Jimmy D: There's more to life than fashion

Update: 2016-11-01

Description

Auckland-based designer James Dobson talks about life before the internet, meeting the needs of a clientele that range from 15-60, and why he has to remind himself that there is more to life than fashion.

James Dobson - the founder and designer of New Zealand label Jimmy D - isn't afraid of pushing creative boundaries.

He chats candidly with Sonia Sly at his K Road home (which is above his workroom) about approaching design with a sense of humour, working with stylist King Kang Chen, life before the internet and being at home in the fashion industry.
