The AMAZINGGG interview with Rembrandt Duran :)

Tell me a little about yourself. Where are you from?


My Name is Rembrandt Duran, Im from the Lower East Side in NYC and I'm Mexican Dutch and Jewish! Designer, ex stylist and lover of all things stylish.

What does fashion mean to you?

Fashion to me.... fashion to me isn't real. Just like love isn't really real. Its something you feel and beleive in. It can be as real as you want it to be, even more real to you than something you can feel and hold. It's something that can inspire the mind and eyes. It may sound corny, but thats what fashion is to me. I'm all about fun and loving what you do and not be SO serious. But at the same time fun is serious to me lol

Who are some of your favorite designers?

Ralph Lauren ALLLL DDDAAAYYY!!!! haha but yeah I honestly don't follow fashion like that anymore. I'm too busy doing my own thing. I respect Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld the most because they're iconic and historic and hardworking.

Where did you get the concept of Assman?

I got the concept from my love of cartoons. I actually made him up with my friends in 3rd grade. I used to want to be a cartoonist and LOVED cartoons. But as I went into high school I started to get into fashion and realized thats what I wanted to do! But I could never let go of my first love. So i decided to infuse the two of them and now Assman is ready to takeover the fashion world!


What are some of your favorite clothing stores/catalogs/websites?

Ummmm Ralph Lauren, Rugby, Club Moncao, Bape, and a bunch of sneaker brands. Like Diet Butcher Slim Skin and Dior. Common Projects too! Im up on my sneaker game just not on my clothing game haha


How would you define your personal style?

I dress like a damn cartoon. I always had a vivid imagination and and would play cartoon fights with my friends and from then on I always wanted to be a cartoon. So obviously that could never happen. So I just dress like one haha

Where do you get your inspiration?

Case Closed. Conan Edogawa and Jimmy Kudo. Google all three of those and you will see where I get it from. Also Music Videos. I love the Heartbreaker Video by MSTRKRFT and Daft Punk Videos.
