Meet: Nick Brown x Lifetime

POSTED BY Jenna

Today we're getting to know Nick from local favourite, Lifetime Collective. We carry many pieces from both the men's and ladies' collections so be sure to stop by and check it out. Say hello to Nick!

1.     What do you do?

I’m the General Manager for the Vancouver based clothing label Lifetime Collective. [[MORE]]

2. What do you love about Plenty?

I love that Plenty has a great selection of product from a strong line up of brands. The stores look really nice as well and it's great to see this concept done in a mall where it’s hard to find a store like this in a lot of cities. Working with Murat is great too!

3. Current obsession?

Lately I've been obsessed with the TV series, Homeland. I'm addicted!

4. Favourite tunes?

I've been listening to the new Kendrick Lamar album a lot lately. Finally there's some good new rap music out there.

5. Must-haves for Fall?

In Vancouver you have to own a good rain jacket and rubber boots.

6. Go-to Outfit?

At home it's the Blundetto sweater pants and the Pressure bonded fleece sweatshirt, both by Lifetime.

If I'm going to venture out of the house my navy Belafonte Cords and Birchland Sweater have come in handy a lot this season, both by Lifetime as well.

7. Favourite item(s) from your Fall 2012 collection?

I would have to say two of the items in my go to's above would make the list. The Blundetto cable knit sweater pants and my Birchland ski sweater. Both were made in Italy and are great Fall items for any man's wardrobe this season.
