AltCitY's Interview with Travis Ockenden from Vandal X Klothing!!


Brad; How did you decide this is what you wanted?

Travis; I came up with vxk back in July 05, I used to put on music shows in my hometown,
  since we pretty much lost all the venues to hold shows, clothing just kind of happened.

Brad; Did you think it would be the success it is now?

Brad; Where did the Name Vandal X come from and Working with models is something you do to show off your clothes ,
 Any advice to people looking to work with models for promotion?


 Travis; The name comes from a song called Vandal X, by a band called unsane. I've always been a promoter,
 so it was natural to make the switch. It's not the success I want yet,
 but it's slowly growing into its own thing, as we speak I'm about to make high visibility shirts for construction sites,
 this wasn't even a thing until a few days ago, but it's feeling like a pretty good idea now,
 also I just relocated from Lloydminster Ab/Sk to Cranbrook BC,
 with the move I'm hoping to sell face rags at music festivals etc.
 When it comes to models you have 2 options,  1 you can pay someone to promote your company through their social media,
 it doesn't always have to be a professional photo, the reach to a million people is nice,
 2 you either get a model who can set up a professional shoot,
 or you make contacts with a photographer who knows models.

Brad; What would you do in a Zombie Apocalypse?

Travis; I'd bunker down in a concrete fortress,  and if I had to leave the house I'd probably use a sword.
