Rohan Daft is a British writer and journalist and a connoisseur of Spanish food and British fashion. His way in journalism he started as a freelance writer and gossip columnist for the London Evening Standard. 80 pounds for story. Later Rohan spent about 6 years in Spain, to find traditional and delightful recipes for his book, which called «Menú del Día». Naturally about real Spanish cooking. When I’ll be in any bookshop, I’ll buy it without fail!
– And how did you get involved in fashion?
– So I was always interestedd in fashion, for the first time a tailor made a suit for me when I was eighteen.
Fantastically! I want to know more!
-And how did you begin working for Richard James?
-Well, I have a lot of acquaintances, they read my book about Spanish food, and invited me to work with them.
Now Rohan works as a fashion blogger on website of Richard James (a fashion British tailor).
He writes about new arrivals, about all. So, I guess he is constantly keeps up the being well-informed. When I’ve asked him to tell, how does he spend his everyday at work, Rohan broke into a smile and said: «Ha-ha, firstly I come to shop and watch over the new arrivals, check everything and so on. After it I can have some meetings». Nice!
-A tailor is like a doctor! He does one’s best. Doesn’t criticize you. Tries to help you as much as he can.
I’ll add this phrase to my collection.
-Do you buy your clothes at Richard James?
-Ah, now I’m dressed in its shirt and socks!
He said with a pleased smile upon one’s face. And adds: «I like such shops as Ebay.com, Uniqlo and Amarican Aparel too».
Well, time is short. I need to ask a little more about preferences.

– And what about your favourite music?
-I’m listening to classical music – Skryabin, Shopin, Shimanovski. Also contemporary, for instance Little Dragon.
-Which newspaper do you prefer to read?
-Certainly, I use the internet as a source of news, and also I buy Sunday Times. Among the magazines I prefer Private eye, GQ, Esquire. And I like to read a foreign press, especially Spanish – El Pais.
Don’t remember, in what moment, but Rohan utters casually, that he has a Russian roots – his grandmother was Russian. Suddenly he said: «Ya ne govoryu po russki!». What means «I don’t speak Russian». And than some Russians words, which he knows. It sound funny with a British accent!
Now I should conclude my enthusiastic story about Rohan Daft. I can say, that it is a great value to meet and to talk with person like this. A keen person. Who is an expert in his sphere. Who inspires you by his own example. And what is the most important thing, in my opinion, – when you want to meet a person again and ask more.
