DESIGNER OF MANY NAMES

RICHARD ROSS: A MANY OF MANY NAMES AND TALENTS TO MATCH

Richard Calabasas. WICHUUD. Drähcir. These are the few names that surround art student, photographer and designer Richard Ross. A proud Bay Area native from Concord, California that I was honored to exchange some insightful emails with concerning his love for fashion, music and film. Currently living in Southern California, attending California State University of Long Beach and studying fashion which he says is the “right move,” for him with the exception of adjusting to living alone and away from his home in the Bay Area.

Looking at Richard’s Instagram (@richardcalabasas) you will find a curated page of only 13 posts at the moment. Despite the lack of photos, compared to other creative’s hundreds of photos, its still apparent where Ross’ passion lies. His most recent post is a preview of a single he’s released on all streaming platforms titled, “Ultra.” Keep scrolling and you’ll see a photo of him with his parents of whom he says, “I’m so glad I have the parents to support it [learning about fashion]. Not many people are fortunate enough to have their family back them up with what they truly want to do.” Continue down his Instagram, and its apparent he has a strong interest in dance and photography.

Drähcir Collective, Ross’ clothing brand, whose name is cleverly “Richard” spelled backwards is a consistent project that the designer speaks passionately about. A “simple process,” Richard describes as him sketching ideas, scanning them to his computer and then digitizing them. Ross prefers to work with a local printshop to support small businesses and to have the advantage of working closely with them on the details. “It is honestly the best feeling to see your pieces come to life,” he says of this “simple process.”

When asked about his inspirations regarding fashion, Ross says that fashion was always something that was present in his family. Whether he was dressed and matching to the nines with his two older brothers or beginning his sneaker collection in elementary school its apparent Ross always had his own unique sense of style. “I would always get asked, ‘why do you dress like a 20-year old??’ I was genuinely confused because I just dressed how I wanted,” this speaks volumes to his minimalist approach to his designs on his windbreakers, jackets and sweatshirts.

Despite family being an influence on Ross’ creative side, he also cites Jackie Chan being his first ever creative inspiration. He also cites Pulp Fiction as a film that inspires him immensely. It would be ignorant to discount his love for music and film, Ross’ describes clothing, music and photography as his “holy trinity.” He says his love for these three expressions by saying, “to put it into perspective, imagine building a brand in the future where I could design the clothes, shoot the pictures, and produce the music for the promos/shows.” It’s not a surprise that when I asked my final question about where Ross sees himself in 10 years to which he responds honestly and eloquently by saying, “In ten years I see myself as a respected designer within the fashion industry...Right now I’m a student absorbing as much knowledge and experience as I can. I’m still young…I’m currently motivated to be the best person I can be.” Seeing and learning about how much Richard Ross has accomplished since that young boy in elementary school sneaker shopping for school to accomplished designer, student and overall creative it’s not hard to imagine he will be a well respected creative within the industry.

PSA: I know Richard fairly well. He is a great friend of my family. What’s most admirable about Richard is that he is not confined to one form of art. His passion for learning more about fashion, music, photography and most importantly his friends is genuine. These attributes that I’ve highlighted, if he sticks with them, will matter most in this industry and no doubt contribute to his successful future. Follow his journey on his IG @richardcalabasas. Sparce posts but a good insight into his talent.

I don't even explain myself why I'm up this late , I spent two hours watching a film that ended with me crying like a little basic bitch in the end . I've realized something through the end of it , I've realized many things . I've had this perspective that I wanted to change my physical self just to look good for others , it was more of a 50/50 sort of thing . There's times where I look at myself and I just sigh in disappointment . seriously , I could look at myself and think I'm not good enough or I need to change . I never really understand why when we're together and we are laying down , and you wrap your arms around me and pull me in , I can't help but to freak out and push you a little off and say "don't touch my insecurities" and laugh it off , but when you look at me and kiss me and tell me "stop don't say that . you're so beautiful" I don't know what to say , I've never really thought about it much , I remember what you tell me , but it just sticks with me . I'm laying down , thinking about how I wanna change myself again , and I scroll by some pictures , and this time when I look at these images , I don't get upset or frustrated . I'm looking at all these images , of what'd be considered the perfect body shape , or any sort of fucking physical feature that I'd ever desired , but the only thing in my mind are the words you told me and the kisses you'd give me , and how'd you'd look at me and tell me to stop , or those moments when you just stare at me and smile and tell me I'm so beautiful or cute , and I can't help and smile . it doesn't seem like such a worry anymore , I know I probably don't seem like I take your compliments when you give them to me , or I return it and say it's you rather than me , or just nod my head no . but every little compliment you ever give me stays with me , I often worry you'll look at my flaws , but it doesn't seem like any to you . I'd understand the same way when you talk to me about your insecurities and your flaws , but for me it's just another thing to adore and love about you , getting to discover a little more about you . you've been having a huge meaning to me for the longest , you've always been such a wonderful individual . Tonight , I've been up thinking rather than sleeping , but unlike other nights before when I'd bash on myself for being who I am , tonight I feel good and lucky and just happier than ever . unlike other days before when I'd walk with no emotion on my face , I walk the hallways with a smile on me that holds a huge important story behind it. unlike other days when people would ask why I was upset , they're asking what I'm so happy about . You always tell me "what's so special about me ?" and I could never give you a direct answer , but what's so special about you is a huge impact you've made on me , and how I simply adore you as a individual . I hope you wake up one day and realize what I mean , I love you , I really do . 00608AM.
