It's hard to describe someone as mesmerising as Thistle Brown. He's like a cross between David Bowie and that girl who walks into a room and everyone holds their breathe at her beauty. I remember the first time I met him — he should feel lucky as I can't say that about most people, or, actually, I'm the lucky one to have the honour of knowing someone so damn fabulous. He was that kid from up north in Kamo, Whangarei, he had just gotten back from travelling the world and had moved to Auckland, New Zealand, to study fashion and textiles. Over the past few years I have watched him grow from a kid to a total muse of many. He always without fail looks cooler than any rock star ever did. He's charming, beautiful, big-hearted, an incredible dancer, and a hard worker. And his clothes — they are wild. His love for fabric is so romantic, as is he. You can even see a piece of his latest collection in the current US Vogue, so you know it's good. Luckily for us he is in his last year at university, which means shortly we can watch him take the world by storm.
