Dennis Chuene is a South African fashion designer. He’s been living in Berlin since the pandemic and has already established himself as a challenger to the status quo of Germany's fashion capital. This interview is however less about the design and more about the human.

Even if you are far from the world of fashion, you might imagine that it’s quite difficult to cut through the noise and make a name for yourself. Yet, Dennis Chuene has done it not once, but multiple times - the last one being in a new country where he had to start everything from scratch. This interview reveals the mindset one must have to achieve this, the personal growth needed to sustain it and some practical strategies that might help along the way. You can expect to find answers to the following questions:

• How to make people notice your work.
• How to get to a yes, when all you hear is no.
• How to deal with doubt.
• How to stay on the right side of success.
• What goes into genuinely strong partnerships.
• How to enter new markets.
• How to turn setbacks into opportunities.
• The meaning of (and behind) creation.
