On an early Saturday morning, We sat down with fashion stylist and curator Dax to talk about his journey from celebrity styling to running his own showroom, his curatorial philosophy, and his fashion hot takes.
Mercer:
What's up with you, man? How's the showroom? How's everything?
Daniel:
Mercer:
That's dope!
Daniel:
"I WANT ARCHIVE PIECES SAT NEXT TO NEW DESIGNERS - ALMOST LIKE A TRIAL BY FIRE."
Mercer:
The journey is worth it.
Daniel:
Mercer:

Mercer:

Mercer:

Daniel:
"NO STYLIST IS EVER GONNA GIVE THEIR SAUCE AWAY — AND I LIKE THAT PEOPLE TREATED THE SHOWROOM LIKE A SECRET WEAPON."
Mercer:
Gotcha. Well, let me ask you this — what inspired you to open the showroom? You've worked in the industry before, so what sparked that initial jump from working in it to starting your own thing?
Daniel:
Mercer:
Real talk.
Daniel:
Mercer:
What's one piece that you regret selling?
Daniel:
Mercer:
What's one thing that people should know about On Bond that they might not know?
Daniel:
"MY KNOWLEDGE HAS TO BE MATERIALIZED."
Mercer:
Tell me the story behind the DJ Khaled plaque.
Daniel:
Mercer:
No doubt!
Daniel:
Mercer:
Never done it before.
Daniel:
Mercer:
What are the brands that you're carrying right now, or that you've got your eyes on?
Daniel:
Mercer:
What do you think about the hype that Margiela is getting right now?
