Tony Hawk talk about his unspoken motto ‘Follow Your Passion’ in this latest interview with ‘Trep TALK. ‘Follow Your Passion’ is also the motto used by my high school The Met Center High School . It was the one thing that led me to the discovery of my true passion, Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy. 

The Anna Wintour of Tumblr?

That’s what Style Caster is calling Willie Greene, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Tumblr’s top fashion blog We The Urban. He lived in DC for about 10 years before moving to North Carolina to start his business. Willie has done some pretty cool things in his life so far; from meeting Nicki Minaj to landing Zombie Boy Rick Genest on the cover of his 4th issue. Few months ago he sat down with Style Caster a fashion platform that brings together fashion content, community and shopping. Their interview went a little like this.

What’s a typical day like for you?

A typical day for me starts a 6:30 AM hitting the snooze button three or four times (I reallydespisemornings). After I muster up the strength to get out of bed, I get dressed and head to school. During the week, I’m literally on my laptop all afternoon until 12 AM posting, answering emails, making calls and working on new WeTheUrban endeavors. Creative people never stop creating!

What is it like being a fashion editor in North Carolina?

The fashion in Raleigh, NC obviously isn’t really up to par, but I’m constantly getting invited to launches, sample sales, showrooms and the like in New York. I’m planning to move there in the fall of 2012 though, so I only have to withstand this torture for a few more months!

Can you tell us what is in the works for Issue #5?

I can’t really reveal too much, but this next issue’s cover is defintely going to be completely different from anything WeTheUrban Magazine has curated. Oh, and it’s been confirmed that Solange Knowles will be gracing the cover this time around.

If you could own one item of clothing or accessory what would it be and why?

Anything andeverything Maison Martin Margiela because almost everything MMM for men is perfect. Same with Carlos Campos.

“Behind every great man there’s a great woman“… or vica versa.

Some of you know, many of you don’t, that what started out as a photography blog of my film archive turned into a place where the bodies of work created by my partner Kevin Burg and I live. Sometimes we create specifically for the…
