ell me about ADED and what it stands for. “ADED started out as a dream. The dream became a vision and the vision became a goal. The goal is to make unique clothes in both design and price. The name ADED stands for All Day Ever y Day.” What is the inspiration behind the brand? “ The inspiration behind the brand comes from different fashion icons and old movies. I am a sucker for 80s movies. You will see some Back to the futureinspired stuff in the upcoming S/S 13 line.” Who wears ADED? “I have not yet got the hang of it, because i have seen all kind of people wearing ADED. I have seen people with blazers over a T-shirt from ADED, and then i have seen hardcore heavymetal people wearing the snapback. So i guess it’s a huge mix. I love that!” Tell me about you. Who is David? “Normal human being, born on earth. Would love to have a golden Delorean i my living room.” Why a clothing brand? “I have always been interested in fashion. So my goal was to attend a fashion school over
in London. But i had some problems on the way, so i thought to myself, why not just do it without the school. One of my friends that i have known since i was 9 years old, really pushed me hard to follow my dream, and to get the courage to start my own brand.” So what inspires you David? “It is really hard for me to just break down where i get my inspiration from. The funny thing is that most of my ideas hit me just before i fall asleep. But i guess that most of the inspiration i get from art in different forms, classic movies and music.” How would you define creativity? “The word creative, i would define as a collective term for feelings that are expressed in different ways.” What kind of music do you listen to? “Hip hop, and sometimes strange french music that i dont understand.“ Zlatan or Henrik Larsson and why? “Zlatan, because he always says funny stuff.”
Originals ” Wood Rich”. It’s a collaboration between Adidas and Eric Bailey.” Anything you want to tell our readers? “Just to keep up to date with ADED. Make sure to follow ADED on instagram (ADEDvision) and the blog (www.aded.se) for the lates updates and news. In two weeks the new photos for the S/S 13 line will drop. Don’t miss out.” Name 5 things people don’t know about you. 1. I hate dirty shoes 2. I wanted to be a car designer when i was a kid. 3. I iron my boxers. 4. I have seen all Jean Claude Van Damme movies like 10 times. 5. I got to many shoes, and never know which ones to wear.
