He then delves into some of AMENRA’s distinctive performance rituals and gives a couple of hard-learned strategies for keeping a touring 5-piece headstrong band together and thriving.

As creative director of SHOWstudio and other independent clients, Calum Knight is used to overseeing the output, collaborations and projects of some of the biggest names in fashion, music and culture. Born to cult-parents Charlotte and Nick Knight, Calum grew up in the trade of fashion and music story-telling and worked alongside their family from an early age, probably holding the record for youngest “consultant” to Lady Gaga ever.

The duo also discusses Calum's lessons learned from working with John Galliano, carving out new lanes for queer perspectives and how working on The Met’s upcoming exhibition ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ alongside mega-curator Andrew Bolton and legendary imagemaker Nick Knight has reignited their deep love for the art of fashion.

Inge Onsea is a total embodiment of joie de vivre which makes her the perfect guest during The Most wonderful time of the year.
As the co-founder and creative director of global brand ESSENTIEL ANTWERP Inge has lived quite the rollercoaster of a life. A self-described "woman without a plan" Inge's career flowed from gigs as a background singer to magician’s assistant to ‘mannequin de cabine’ for big names like MUGLER and Max Mara before founding her own label in 1999 with her business partner and father of her children Esfan Eghtessadi.
As she and Dominique sit down for a long conversation, Inge describes the road from starting out designing a few T-shirts to growing a global brand with 165 employees, 30+ flagship stores (from London to Paris to Seoul to New York) and 780 salespoints worldwide including Neiman Marcus and Anthropologie – while still remaining independent.
Inge also has no qualms talking about the beautiful chaos that is her private life and how her travels and home contribute to living an unapologetic life.
This episode of The Most is brought to you by MAISON NOILLY PRAT, the original vermouth crafted by the sea in the South of France.
Enjoy responsibly.
Happy Holidays!

The true quest into where his passions lie lead Vincent to a succesful run at the prestigious Rietveld Academy where he found multiple mentors and associates for life.
The two also discuss his lifetime commitment to Patta, team work, his style influences, the evolution of his visual art practice, the aspirations of his post-punk band OWN and - drumroll - future Patta plans.
