Levis and Me: Candice Traube

This is Miss Candice Traube and she is the next lovely lass to be featured in our Levis and Me project. She is wearing one of the coolest leather jackets I’ve seen in a while, it has suede shoulder patches and everything. WANT.

Candice is a producer who lives in Johannesburg and who wouldn’t mind a 3rd hand growing out her head.

Questions:

1. What city do you live in, and how long have you called it home? Johannesburg- for the past 2/3 years.. Cape Town and Benoni before that. Yes, Benoni, it’s really not that bad.

2.What do you do? I’m a Producer- I’ve dabbled from reality tv, to agency tv production.. and most recently to stills production for some amazing photographers.

3. What is one of the raddest things you have done wearing a pair of jeans? A recent rad ‘jeans-specific’ memory would definitely be riding along the beach path from Venice Beach to Santa Monica pier on cruiser bikes in December. That place is a total visual feast, from the old Dogtown culture that lingers to the crazy homeless people spaced out on LSD.. I was a gaping tommy tourist and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

4. If you could live in someone else’s ‘jeans’ for a day who would that person be? Debbie Harry, circa 1980’s. She has to be one of my favourites – and who wouldn’t want to fit in her jeans with an ass like that?

5. What is the one thing/person that influences your style the most? In all honesty nothing really influences me too much. Style blogs and all those lookbooks have all started to look the same to me. Plus I’m too lazy to follow them properly. I figure- if you see something you like, take it. Simple as that.

6. Would you rather have all Bill Gates money but have a face that looks like a squashed tortoise or all Bill Gates money and an extra hand growing out the top of your head that likes to wave at everyone? I’d take the latter. That way I could use my third hand to give a lot of the money away to people who really need it ‘coz there’d be more than plenty to go around. Plus you’d be a do-gooder.. and everyone would LOVE your weird cash-throwing head hand.
