FASHION . EYES ON
The power of self-love Self-love doesn’t just happen at whim, it’s a journey. An unknown road that is often riddled with potholes, speed bumps and peak-hour traffic that stops you dead in your tracks. We’re not all there yet, it takes time. But hearing how others love themselves can be a helping hand in the right direction. This liberating new decade sees Converse on a mission to spread self-love through helpful reminders
and personal stories, much like the inspiring characters on this page. Really, truly, loving themselves in all aspects is something Rob Tennent and Sophia Malthus proudly practice every day. We asked Rob and Sophia to self-direct their own photoshoots for Remix in a way that lets the things they love about themselves shine through, then we asked them to get real about why they champion self-love.
“When I accept myself, I feel powerful and unstoppable… the only instagram like that you need at the end of the day, is yours.”
Rob Tennent !"#$%&'(('(& WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE YOURSELF?
‘Through fashion I really learnt to love myself and accept myself. It was more of an act of rebellion when I started wearing womenswear… I just felt a lot more confident in it. Now I can do fashion week and womenswear campaigns and be the only guy, which I absolutely love. It teaches me and reminds me how confident I actually am in clothes that make me feel good. I love that Converse is reminding people to love themselves…’
