An Interview With: MADEBYHADEN

Source: @madebyhaden 


11 months later..

So guys, how you all been?

Today I have another little interview for you only this time its with a 7ft native Yorkshire giant called Haden.. well I thought he was called Haden until he added me on facebook under the name Freddy. Anyway I digress, this interview isn't totally professional but that's the whole point and its a bit of fun so don't get your knickers in a twist.

Q1: Whats with the Instagram name?

MadebyHaden, i'd love a great story behind the name, truth be told I took it from the clothes labels 'Made in China' but 'Made in Haden' doesn't sound right so then I thought of MadebyHaden.. because everything on my account is made by me, (fits, most shots, edits etc.) so that made sense.

Yeah, 'Made in Haden' really doesn't sound right.. onto the next question.

Q2: You say your a hypebeast, does wearing a few Off-White tees count? What makes you identify as a hypebeast?

I didn't know I identified as a hypebeast? Ive had more than two Off-White tees if that counts though. Honestly 'hypebeast' is well overplayed now, I feel like its only appealing to 12 year olds to wear Off-White/Yeezy fits, even the word is just cringe now to be honest..

Fair response, about your bio then.. 

Q3: Okay I'll ask some serious questions, what made you start shooting and a fashion based Instagram account?

It started with shoes way back, always had an interest in shoes, then started taking pictures of those shoes and then from there the pictures went from my feet to my legs and then just full fits. Started shooting alone in a car park or wherever I could find, got my first feature then got hooked.

When can we see these leg pictures man I'm interested.

Q4: Whose content do you rate on social media at the moment and why?

@sangiev, where I started in fashion from his videos, but his account!.. @miakhalifa@blvckmvnivc's account has been mad in quality lately. @hosseinpaker is one of the best examples of what NOT to do unless you're trying to be a tosser.

Hmm, I'm sure John and Sangiev are honoured to be up there with Mia..

Q5: Do you like Bradley Wiggins?

Whose that? Is he a hypebeast?

Im just trying to be funny, didn't work did it..

Q6: What makes your Instagram different from any other 'hypebeast' Instagram?

Nothing.. there is nothing different about hypebeasts anyway. It's all the same shit always, I don't feel I'm a part of that anymore especially with where I'm going in the future with my content!

Sounds good man, keep an eye out people!

Q7: Would you ever try a different designer to what you currently wear, eg. Rick Owens, Raf Simons, Dries Van Noten etc?

All of the above and more, Vetements, Acne Studios, Amiri, Fendi (all the way) and Haider Ackerman all make some HARD pieces. It's all sub branches of the same thing, I appreciate individual pieces from brands not just the brand itself.

All of the above do indeed make sweet pieces! Time to hang your Off-White up and put the Yeezy's away or is too soon?

Q8: And finally, what are your honest thoughts on @mvisoli's love for Taylor Swift?

No comment, it ain't for me.. but all love.

Agreed.

So hope you enjoyed that guys, something different to your usual, slightly boring interview with answers you can usually guess. Big thanks to Haden for answering the questions, make sure you give him a follow! 

Should I make this more of a regular thing? Finding out peoples honest thoughts and answers to some not so typically structured questions?

Let me know!

Outfit Of The Day - Monochrome Mashup

Photography: Charlotte Traverse

Black Gym Bomber Jacket - Represent Clothing / £80 (Sold Out)
Checked Flannel - Topman / £25
Grey Scooped Hem T-shirt - Topman / £10
Black Shorts w/ meggings - Asos / £30
Black Corduroy Hat - Supreme / £44
Qasa High Prime knit Sneakers - Y3 / £260


-----------------------------------

Hello! welcome back, I'm sorry its been a little dormant around here but I promise it won't be like that for long with more OOTDs to come! This outfit I love because of its usage of simplistic layering and colour running of blacks, whites and greys. I feel the outfits urban appeal works well with its surroundings myself and some friends found in the heart of Manchester. Ive always loved the city and everything about it and I try and make my outfits stand out in the fast paced environments whilst still fitting in at the same time.

For the outfit instead of just going for white and black, why not throw some grey in? I recently picked up some new Y3 sneakers and they have a main body of Adidas's insanely comfortable prime knit material. The knit has flashes of grey and white in whilst the rest of the shoes has blacks and whites, so to balance out some more grey in the outfit I used my top man scooped hem t-shirt and top man flannel. Ive just started to buy more scooped hem 
pieces now (I know Im late) and they layer superbly over one another. Giving a different look to your standard cut. Topped off with the crazy Gym Bomber by Represent, this jacket brings another meaning to quality, and the soft, premium feeling materials really do it for me on this one. On the bottom half Ive kept it simple and gone for some plain black shorts with meggings from Asos just to give a different aesthetic than some conventional black skinnies.  A band I've know for a long time but never been able to buy something I really liked is supreme. Now I have one of their box logo hats I can really see what the major hype is about with this brand, If you own some supreme pieces you know what I mean..

Thank you for taking your time to read this article! And stay tuned for more. If you aren't already make sure to follow me on my social media accounts (names over on the right of the screen). Leave a comment if you enjoyed this post and ill see you next time!
Byeeee.

Hi welcome back to another post! I know I only posted yesterday but due to not uploading in a while I thought Id try and make up for it. Upload is on time as promised haha. So trying to shoot todays outfit was more difficult than I anticipated, to start off with I set off with my photographer Charlotte to get something to eat before the shoot only to find that Id forgotten my SD card for my camera when we reached the shooting spot! So I insisted we returned to get it and come back and complete the shoot, I wasn't going to disappoint you by leaving it to another day. So this blog post has been done as speedily as possible to publish on time! Now to the outfit Ive previously used this outfit in a shoot and absolutely love it, the strange sort of off white, creamy beige kind of look it gives off is strange but appealing in my opinion. I paired it with some distressed blue denims for a change instead of black and with my beloved CDG x Converse sneakers which I don't wear as much as I should If im honest. Finally to give the outfit some diversity I used the striped t-shirt with stepped hem (that really is very stepped!) from Asos. I think the outfit really works and is something different. Tell me what you think. C'ya.

Outfit Of The Day - Check Mate

Photography: Lewis Finnigan

Off White Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £14
Checked Shirt - Topman / £30
(D.I.Y Super Distressed) Black Skinny Jeans - Topman / £30
Metal Plaque Snake Embossed Cap - Maniére De Voir / £20
Lanyard - Represent Clothing / £25
Triangle Low Cut Sneakers - Filling Pieces - / £160


-----------------------------------

Before I get into todays post i'd like to apologise for being so inactive recently. Ive been struggling to find time to get some decent pictures and the weather work with me at the times I have any availability. Anyway I should be getting a schedule soon saying when ill post. I digress, hey so how are you doing? Todays outfit was one i'd wanted to throw together for a while. In my wardrobe I do have a substantial amount of blacks, whites and greys and thought it would look cool putting them all together. I tried to balance a similar amount of each colour through each piece of attire. The central piece is definitely the checked shirt I bought form Topman. It makes any outfit pop and especially when put on a clean canvas with blacks and or whites. The filling pieces are also an amazing shoe, not as well known as many brands but are really starting to pick up speed now. They are a great 'entry level' high end shoe and in my opinion for the price. Its astonishing the amount of craftsmanship than has gone into producing the shoes. I dare say it the leather is border line Balenciaga territory and thats for half the price!. Anyway, I know this post went up a tad later than I said it would and im sorry for that I made a little longer for you, haha. Thanks for reading and make sure you follow me on social media for more updates on blog posts and outfits etc. Bye :)

Photography: Charlotte Traverse

Wide Brim Fedora Hat - Asos / £20
Black Quilted Bomber Jacket - Topman / £30
Black/Grey Stripe Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £16
Black Longline T-shirt - Asos / £13
(D.I.Y Super Distressed) Black Skinny Jeans - Topman / £30
Lanyard - Represent Clothing / £25
Urban Peak Superstar Supercolor Sneakers - Adidas / £67


-----------------------------------

Hi guys, hows your weekend going? This outfit was a bit of a rustic, layering, distressed combo I threw together. I thought It worked well the mixes of black, grey and green on the similarly distressed background of the stone wall. It was getting dark and I had no battery so these shots were really quickly done but I think they turned out really well even with the lower lighting. I just got these Adidas Superstars in this amazing grey/khaki colour way when I was on holiday in Portugal. I really wanted the sand colour way but found these and decided I wanted them straight away haha, even after they released a while ago and have sold out everywhere. Thanks for looking, thoughts?

Outfit Of The Day - Red To Toe

Photography: Charlotte Traverse

 Shirt - H&M / £10
Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £14
Shorts w/ Meggings - Asos / £30
Lanyard - Represent Clothing / £25
Metal Plaque Snake Embossed Cap - Maniére De Voir / £20
Virtue Blood Red Sneakers - Maniére De Voir / £120 (Discontinued)


-----------------------------------

Hey guys hows it going? Todays outfit was quite a bright one, I wore my black and red checked shirt from H&M on a plain black shirt to really expose the boldness of the red. I also decided to use my virtue sneakers from Maniére De Voir in that bright 'blood red' on my black shorts w/ meggings from Asos. Shot in more of a suburban location I feel that this outfit really contrasts its background. There was also a slight wind so I tried my best to stop my shirt from flying all over the place. Let me know what you think! :)

Greg.
