Rick Klotz
Colluding with Rick:
What the fuck is really going on?
They don’t make ‘em like Rick Klotz anymore. The visionary founder of iconic streetwear company Freshjive has long been known in the industry for blazing his own trail, reinventing the brand over the course of two decades before moving on to launch cult beloved brand Warriors of Radness. WOR, with its mod cuts, unique fabrics, and boutique distribution, was unlike any surf clothing line before it, and earned Klotz a CFDA Best New Menswear Designer nomination in 2011.

Never having an idle moment and always with a camera in hand, Iris truly loves everything about her job. For almost ten years her post has seen her travel to many international destinations that include her beloved Mexico City.
Her home is a true reflection of her dynamic personality. Divided into separate activity areas by plants, overarching lights, and homemade glass-steel furniture, Iris’s interior feels like a futuristic modernist spaceship suspended in the sky. Fruit-shaped furniture and vintage dolls defiantly claim their importance over the powerful concrete structure that are in contrast to the unsettlingly exposed interior with a near 360-degree view of MacArthur
