INTERVIEW FOR VIBEZINE

I caught up with Jules ‘Ask Your Girl’ Zambon at the Ask Your Girl “360” event;

Erim – How is everything going for you at the moment?

Jules – Yeah, all good man! Just workin’ real hard, and trying to stay focussed and level headed..

Erim – What are the current projects you are working on?

Jules – I’m promoting a young boxer called Ryan “Run ‘em over” Charles, who is currently the university heavyweight champion, and we’re looking forward to potentially reaching the Olympics in 2012.

I’m also managing a group called Nutty NRG who you can check out on www.nuttyfactory.com or www.youtube.com/nuttynrg

Obviously there’s also Ask Your Girl clothing, which is at the forefront of my movement.

Erim – Ask Your Girl is primarily a clothing brand, but what other aspects of urban culture does your brand cover?

Jules – Music, fashion, film, sports and events. Ask Your Girl is a multi-platform 360 degree brand!

Erim – We are here today at the Ask Your Girl 360 event, was it you that came up with the idea and put it all together?

Jules – Well, events like this are not new.. I have a lot of people around me that do a lot of things on different platforms, so I then thought if I were to bring it all together It would be beneficial for the consumer.

So  if a customer wants to get their hair done, go shopping, get a tattoo or get some good food, they can do it all in one day here at the 360 event! All of the customers that have been here today have been pleased with what we have put together and have gone home happy!

Erim – I have seen numerous celebs wear Ask Your Girl clothing, but if you could have anyone in the world endorse your product, who would it be and why?

Jules – I would say…David Beckham because he is very influential within the fashion industry and he’s a world renowned sports star! He also knows what it’s all about, performing under pressure!

Erim – Who was your biggest inspiration when starting up Ask Your Girl?

Jules – I don’t even know to be honest. I think it’s more that – I’m so hard on myself, I kind of inspire myself.

I drive myself to get up in the morning and make something happen, or make some kind of wave. Its more self motivation and inspiration for me…

But in terms of people I aspire to be like, it would be; Jay-Z, Richard Branson, Ghandi, Martin Luther King.

I just want to be revolutionary, coz it’s the same whether you are doing business or politics – It’s still a campaign and a movement and you need a good team of people behind you.

Erim – Other than your Ask Your Girl, what would be your all time favourite brand?

Jules – Favourite brand? S***…. I prefer non-branding clothing to be honest. I like natural colours and that, but if I had to pick one brand it would have to be adidas coz they are just timeless in everything they do!

Erim – What your favourite item you have ever bought yourself?

Jules – It would probably have to be one of my own pieces, a shirt from my 2010 collection! So yeah, look out for that this summer!

Erim – what the most amount of money you have ever spent of an item of clothing or pair of shoes?

Jules – Probably something dumb… (Laughs) I’m not really a big spender, especially since I started my own label, but if I had to pick one thing it would probably be a pair of Prada’s or something…

Erim – Lastly, what does the future hold for yourself and Ask Your Girl?

Jules – There’s a whole variety of things! A world of things! At the moment I’m not trying to think too far ahead, I’m just dealing with what I have to deal with right now, and in the back of my mind I know what I will do if those things come into place.

I’m dealing with the game at hand, which is the most important thing right now…

Erim – Thanks bro

Jules – Cool man…
