Where creative types answer our list of inquisitive questions
Mark Anthony Bradley, Fashion Director
Tell us about your favourite campaign or project you have worked on and briefly what made it so special I would say styling the actor Willem Dafoe for the cover of Jocks & Nerds magazine purely for the fact that he was so giving and genuine! Willem gave us so much more time than a celebrity normally allocates for an editorial and at one point he asked me to interact with him in a make believe acting scenario to create a reaction that was beautifully captured by the photographer! I felt blessed to have contributed and witness to a wonderful human being… an artist personified!

Who in your opinion is a rising new talent in the creative industry There are so many emerging within the fashion, music and film industry for example within fashion the designer Wales Bonner stands out for me with her historical, sexual, political and identity awareness designs!
I’d also like to champion within the film industry the likes of Daniel Kaluuya and James-Nelson Joyce both of which seem to be installing a fresh breath of air within the British film scene!
What are you most proud of in your career Becoming a Fashion Director and an aspiring street photographer which hopefully will evolve above and beyond.
Who would play you in a Hollywood film If depicted in my current years it would have to be me 😉 as there wouldn’t be any over dramatisation… secretly always wanted to be an actor or a voice over artist haha! But seriously I could imagine Shia LeBeouf would my personal preference in my earlier years am sure would do a grand job! He’s an another acting/directorial legend in my eyes! In later life it could have been Terence Stamp or Christopher Walken… I wish!!!
And what is your favourite film Too many to mention but to name a few Rumblefish, Control, The Beat That My Heart Skipped, This Sporting Life, The Peanut Butter Falcon, Raging Bull, Gummo, Mean Streets, 1917, Quadrophenia and Honey Boy
