Interview
In the spirit of our "Style of a Gift" holiday campaign, we had the pleasure of chatting with multi-talented Dave East to delve into the nuances of his personal style, the sentiments that make the holidays special for him, and the significance of his partnership with True Religion. This exclusive interview offers a glimpse into the intersection of fashion, festive cheer, and the profound connection between an artist and an iconic brand.
Tell us about yourself. What do you want the True Fam to know?
True Religion has been a staple in NYC for as long as I can remember. It’s a blessing being a part of the True Fam and honoring their legacy. I’m big on loyalty and legacy so aligning with a timeless brand is only right. We’ll be cooking up more in 2024!
How are you spending the holidays this year?
Family first. Nothing better than the holidays and spending quality time with my parents, kids, and extended family. I’m traveling nonstop for work so the holidays are always a time to slow down, reflect, and enjoy life.
Where does your sense of style come from?
Harlem. It’s always been the epicenter of style and originality. I learned game from the greats.
How do you express your creativity through what you wear?
Just like making music, fashion is a vibe. Creativity drives my fashion sense depending on life’s mood. I rarely use a stylist and put everything together myself.
