Bobby Kim aka Bobby Hundreds is best known as fashion designer and co-founder of the California culture-inspired streetwear brand, The Hundreds.
But he is much more than that. He is also an illustrator, writer, and photographer. When describing his talents, he exclaims, “I do a little bit of everything, and a lot of nothing."
Though he wasn’t able to do a video interview, we chatted on the phone. Read the full interview below:
How are you mentally at this current moment - do you feel affected creatively or personally in anyway from isolation or the pandemic itself?
BOBBY -
"There are highs and lows. Everyday is different. But for the most part, I am feeling more creative and alive than ever. Alive - not in the sense of joyful, but alive in the sense of - I am feeling every corner of every emotion."
did anything change for you creatively or habitually upon starting isolation?
BOBBY -
"Upon starting isolation, I became more conscious of the immediate surroundings, and what I had at my disposal.
For example, I knew I had access to sweatpants and some bleach, so I started making Pollock-style patterns across them."

are there any aspects of change you would want to preserve after life picks back up to "normalcy"?
BOBBY -
"If Anything, I think this has led me to cherish the relationships I have in front of me on a much more meaningful level."
