Kris Smith Exclusive
BACKSTAGE WITH KRIS
How would you describe your style?
My style changes every day, especially since being in Australia. I have found a new side of myself and am inspired to try out new combinations.
Have you always been interested in fashion?
I have always had an interest, but previous careers have seen me mostly in trackies and t-shirts.
You travel a lot. Is there something in your wardrobe you never leave home without?
Ugg Boots and PJ’s (I’m a sad old man)
How many suits do you own?
I would say around six, but that number is rapidly increasing.
Do you have a preferred suit colour?
I would have to say Blaq (big smile)
Tie or no tie?
Depends on the event but I do like a good tie – it can make or break an outfit.
Will you be attending the Melbourne Cup Carnival this year?
Of course, I cannot wait for it.
What’s your one tip for racegoers?
Ignore my advice!
A lot of guys will be wearing a hat to the races this year, how about you?
Most definitely. Not sure what type yet though.
What do you look for when buying shoes?
A UK 10 always helps, ha ha...
Do you know how to tie a Windsor knot?
Yep, I am a true English gentleman.
Do you get to keep any of the BLAQ clothes we see you modelling?
I do. They are very generous like that, and the new Blaq (White label) range is pretty special.
OK, what’s your must-have accessory?
Cufflinks, watch, neck chain or…
Watch. I have an obsession with watches.
Please complete this sentence:
“When I pull on a suit I feel…”
...Ready to face anything.
OK, I’ve saved the biggest question for last. Here goes. Best job: rugby or modelling?
Oh now you got me, modelling. It doesn’t hurt half as much.
