With jobs in the creative industries being harder to come by these days, new successors are shining through. Their multifunctional methods challenge the classic perception of a career, deal in originality, and support only the finest of styles. We had the favor of sitting down with stylist, editor of The Rig Out and self-made fashion professional Glenn Kitson. We probed Glenn for his life story and his fashion and business mindset, focusing on the topics “What is this man’s focus? Why is he capable of producing such refreshing work? And what inspires him?”. In what was an inspiring interview with Glenn and what motivates him, he’s provided us with an insight into humility, honesty and most importantly, integrity.

Glenn works with complete creative control and a group of close friends on hand to help. It may not be too dissimilar a story to many professional’s careers in the industry, but if we take a look at how he’s done it, there are valuable lessons to be learned. The French Philosopher Paul Valery said “A businessman is a hybrid of a dancer and a calculator” … Glenn is proof that those who dance to their own beats have all the fun, regardless of wether they’re thought insane by those who can’t hear the music.
