Topman design customer

As part of the FCP brief we had to establish the typical customer of topman design.  This demonstrates a pen portrait of our chosen man... who we found on the streets of london whilst doing essential questionnaires.  

We also asked him a series of questions: 

Ideal job? As a literature academic writing poetry on the side, but preferably not being an academic all my life. Failing that, a teacher or tutor.

What magazines do you read? None regularly, and I'm rarely interested in buying them. I get all that stuff from the internet because it's free.

Favourite foods? Fajitas with crispy chicken, lamb pasanda, banoffee pie, cola bottles, banana milk and pork pies.

Favourite clubs/bars? Moonlighting - London uni student night in an old strip club in Soho, the best and worst place in the world depending on how drunk you are. I like pubs more than bars, but not really expensive wanky pubs and not pubs that smell. My favourite pub is The Fitzroy in Fitzrovia.

Favourite book? Gabriel Garcia Marquez - 100 Years of Solitude, but it'd be something different if you asked me a different time.

Favourite film? Pulp Fiction I guess, but it'd be something different if you asked me a different time.

People who inspire your dress sense? My girlfriend, because she's the person who made me be interested in the clothes I wear. She also screen-printed me some t-shirts, which I'm trying to convince her to sell for cash moneys. The people who work in vintage shops and look a bit like characters at a 50s theme park, because they make me think 'what you're doing is cool and all but I'm only gonna invest a little bit of my dress sense in it' - it's good to know you should always dress a little bit like a normal person when you're trying to look cool. The other inspirations would be too small to list, small and lots of them from films, books, photographs, then I try to hunt the thing I down on the high street, and in vintage and charity shops. The colour crimson also inspires my dress sense loads recently.

People who inspire you in general? Ringo Starr, the drummer from the Beatles, because his existence has brought only sunshine to the world. The rest of the Beatles as well, particularly John Lennon. My Dad, for being the nicest man I've ever met; my little brother, for being the funniest person I've ever met. Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian for being the loveliest man I've never met. The poet EE Cummings for getting life right. Sam Cooke as well, for inventing soul music.

What blogs do you read? None really, apart from this I guess when she updates it -

What music do you listen to? That's always the hardest question to answer, and Last.fm is the best solution:
