今年，以多變及創新出名的全方位藝人 Vanness 吳建豪除了持續的創作歌曲、製作酷炫MV、拍攝電視劇之外，現在還投下了一顆時尚的震撼彈：與日本最潮流的街頭品牌READYMADE聯名合作推出新系列。
對於穿著打扮，Vanness一向是亞洲藝人中數一數二出名的指標人物，我們特地邀請他針對這次合作以及生活風格做了簡單的訪問：
Q. 請你分享這次與 READYMADE 合作的經過，你們如何認識？
最初我在 IG 上注意到 READYMADE 這個品牌，我看到這些用軍裝材料做成的非常酷的旅行包，緊緊抓住了我的視線。它背後的職人精神以及設計感非常新潮，在那時候我就知道我必須要去認識這個品牌。
後來我在 Yuta（READYMADE 創辦人）東京的早秀上遇到他本人，我們一見如故，我不僅瞭解了他的概念以及他為什麼做這些設計，我更發現我們對復古的服飾及音樂等等都有非常相近的喜好。
所以很快的，我就前往他在Osake的工作室拜訪，他去洛杉磯時我們也常常待在一起，自然而然的，我們變得像家人一樣親近，也開始了一些合作。「Team READYMADE Good hearted peoples.」

Q. 從出道到現在，你一直都在挑戰不同的事物，不管是音樂、演戲、穿搭、創業，嘗試新事物對你而言象徵了什麼？
嘗試新事物對我來說就是不斷的「冒險」。除非你去嘗試，不然你永遠不會知道。這不是關乎於“最終目的”，而是一段“旅程”，是你如何達到那裡。有時候事情會順利、有時候不，但就算不成功它仍然是一個學習的經過。無論如何，時常懷抱著感謝的心面對每一個時刻，這是最重要的。

Q. 如果要用一句話形容你的生活態度，你會說什麼？
“Don’t let the world steal your feelings… love, faith, live.”
「別讓這個世界偷走你的感覺…愛、信仰、生活。」

Q. 你覺得KOR Taipei 是一個什麼樣的地方？為什麼選在這裡作為你聯名商品發表的VIP after party?
KOR是一個將經典、優雅以及酷帥（gangster）混進果汁機打在一起那樣——尤其KOR的設計無庸置疑是台灣最經典的酒吧。

Q. 在未來有什麼新的計畫嗎？
下週我將前往澳洲參與一個名為「即刻救援計劃 PROJECT S.A.L.T. (SAVING ALL LIVES TAKEN)」的慈善活動，旨在拯救所有被誘拐的生命。我已經將許多我的舊衣服重新製成新的時裝，開始募資並且對抗人口販賣的問題。
我同時也在未來的新時裝系列努力，還有我的專輯、宣傳我在中國的下一部電視劇，並且開始為我下一個計畫做準備。

Q. Could you please share with us how the collaboration with Readymade came about? How do you know each other? Any interesting moments during the collab process?
First time I was aware of READYMADE was from IG. I saw these really cool travel bags made of military materials. It was truly a sight. His craftsmanship and designs were really fresh and new. That moment I knew I had to know more about this brand. I met Yuta San at one of his early shows in Tokyo. And we just clicked. I understood his concepts and what he was doing with his designs. And found out we have similar interests in vintage clothing, music, etc.
Soon after I visited him at his studio in Osaka and we all hung out when he was in LA too. Everything happened very organically and then jus became like fam. Team READYMADE Good hearted peoples.

Q. You have always challenged the status quo, whether in music, acting, fashion, or business. What does “trying new things” mean to you?
Trying new things means “Adventure” for me. You never know unless you try, and it’s not about the destination but the journey. How you get there… sometimes it works out and sometimes it becomes a learning period. But regardless just to be grateful for every moment.

Q. If you need to use a quote to describe your attitude to life, what quote would you choose?
“Don’t let the world steal your feelings… love, faith, live.”

Q. What do you think about KOR Taipei? Why did you choose KOR Taipei as the venue for your product launch VIP after party?
KOR is what happens when you mix class, elegance, and gangster in a blender. The design is hands down the classiest joints in Taiwan.

Q. Whats next?
I’m flying to Australia next week for a charity event I put together called PROJECT S.A.L.T. (SAVING ALL LIVES TAKEN). I’ve taken a bunch of my old clothes and reconstructed them into new fashionable pieces. And will be auctioned off to raise money and awareness to fight against human trafficking.
I’m also working on furthering my clothing line, writing my album, promoting my next tv drama in China and going over some new scripts for my next projects.
