Name: Maxime Büchi

Location: Marcelo Burlon’s sofa in Milan! But I’ve been living in Switzerland (Lausanne) for the past 4 years (I grew up there too), but about to move to NY and then London… Will see. What I know is that I’m out!

What are you reading? When I have time: scientific books, science fiction, poetry, humanities. But really, usually, what I read is emails, tweets & blogs, you know?

What are you listening to? American rap & grime. Heavy gangster stuff. Some metal, doom, goth, industrial, or slow and melancholic stuff.

Favourite artist? Too many… Ask me for a top 50!

Favourite movie? Watched the 5 seasons of the Wire recently. It was a real revelation. But otherwise I love Lars on Triers, Jarmush, and some experimental stuff too. Kenneth Anger, Bunuel… I don’t have a TV but when I do I like to watch documentaries about animals & sciences.

I am influenced by….Reality

Do you parents understand what your job is? My mum does. I don’t think my father does.

I spent last night…Having random and endless conversations with 3 people I didn’t know before. I am in Milano for fashion week and some Sang Bleu related business. I always like these nights. They can be really boring which wasn’t the case this time, but they always are thought-inducing to me.

What do you eat for breakfast? I don’t breakfast. I wake up at 11 am, leave house, eat a pseudo-lunch on the way, get to my studio, work till 10 pm have dinner, get home work another 3 hours, go to bed.

Favourite thing to do in your city? nothing else to do than work in Lausanne…

Whats something people might not know about you? that I was at my city council at 19.

What are you working on this week? All the launches for Sang Bleu 5, making sure it’s being distributed properly, and paying invoices… I am also getting tattooed by Jondix! Yay!

Check out Sang Bleu here.

In the ongoing collaboration between Generic Surplus, Arkitip and The Ace Hotel Palm Springs, they are introducing two new colorways of their mesh pool shoe. “Inspired by the eternal summer vibe of Palm Springs, the new Red, White and Blue Ace Hotel Palm Springs Shoe is a study in relaxed, understated sophistication. While our Grey, Yellow and White shoe draws from the spirited color palette of the hotel’s pool and cabana grounds.” The cotton mesh upper and for some reason the eyelets really make this shoe for me. It is quite the handsome casual shoe for Summer time.

Ace Hotel is a boutique hotel chain that was founded in Seattle with the idea of affordable rates for the creative community. They house Opening Ceremony in their New York branch and have had numerous artist collaborations. The great thing about Ace Hotel is that every branch is supposed to represent the area it is in hence the pool shoe for their Palm Springs branch.

Now available for pre-order.
