AVIVA:What inspired you to start Public Myth?
KERRY POLLOCK: The lack of style in active and yoga wear, I wanted to create a line with style, attitude and rock n’ roll flare.
KP: When I meet someone wearing pieces from my line and they tell you how much they love it.
KP: To bring style into active/yoga wear while investing in ecologically sound practices, including local manufacturing in Vancouver and using eco-friendly fabrics like bamboo.
KP: The designs, I bring influences from the rest of the fashion world. Also, attention to detail including zippers, buttons, mesh panels and metallic stitching that doesn’t look like your typical yoga line. The leggings have diverse designs that can be dressed up with you favorite boots to head out on the town or throw on a pair of runners with a sports top and hit the seawall. Some of the pieces aren’t for every girl out there, but definitely for the fit and confident ones that know what they want in life.
KP: I have mostly worked with models looking for industry experience and am more focusing for the future on working with models who have a natural healthy look and who choose to live a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes the look also depends on the kind of shoot I want to do, just like fashion looks always change!
KP: Rock n’ Roll, California and European Fashion.
KP: I’m a bit of a health nut so eating healthy is big. I’m always keeping active including the gym, mountain biking and getting my vitamin D from doing anything active in the sunshine (when it’s around).
KP: I work too much to travel but I love Southern California, would also like to visit Germany and Australia.
KP: Tough question, not a big person in awe of celebrities but I have amazing respect for several rock bands that fought hard to make it big. So, on that note, I would probably pick Josh Todd of Buck Cherry just to hear some stories of the 10 + year battle they went through to make their passion for music a career. I find bands that have these stories in their music to be a big inspiration.
KP: Live with passion!
