For those not familiar with The Face Hunter phenomenon I will explain it to you. The Face Hunter is this French guy who lives in London and takes pictures of random people he sees while walking down the street and of whom he thinks they look cool. So when seeing a cool and hip looking person with great fashion sense he follows that person and asks if he or she minds having his/her picture taken. These pictures he puts on his website for all to see which over the months has led to a nice collection of random people wearing the coolest combination of clothes. His site, but also other sites like Street Peeper, The Sartorialist, Lookbook, and Melbourne Street Fashion, has inspired many designers of today as these sites happen to capture street fashion and fashion culture happening on the street right now. But this guy, The Face Hunter, who's real name is Yvan Rodic by the way, I today found out, also happens to make these videos which he has named The Face Hunter Show. In these videos he meets and mingles with all kinds of interesting, fashionable, and arty types of people which he interviews, these interviews being very fun and loose. Rodic has proofed himself to be a really charismatic presenter and his show is really fun to watch. He has so far been to Mexico City, Stockholm and Moscow to talk to some up-and-coming young minds and to provide a sense of what is happening right now in those cities. In Stockholm, for example, he visited the mind behind the brand Cheap Monday which can be said to have re-invented the skinny jeans and from which I right now happen to wear one. Yay! Here's episode two from Mr. Rodic in Stockholm. I like this a lot. :)
