He also shares his experience in finding his personal register as an independent designer, and how collaborations with other labels as an external stylist are necessary for him to maintain a sharp critical eye when looking at his own work.

Huelle, who is in charge of his own label, explains how complex it is to operate independently, and talks about the contribution of social media, his approach to creativity and being free to choose his own way of doing business.
