112 - Guy Hills is the Embodiment of Happiness

My guest this week is Guy Hills, fashion photographer, and co-founder of Dashing Tweeds.

We chat about the challenges and joys of life as a creative professional, photographing Savile Row for the internet age, collaborating with Converse and Pharrell, and wearing what you love regardless of what anyone else thinks about it.
