Runway Traffic: Bastiaan

 

 

Last week, Bastiaan (Re:Quest) treated the runways in Milan and Paris like a treadmill. He was everywhere, with no end in sight. He can wear anything—leather trousers, a skirt; shawl collr, shirtless. We wanted to get him talking before hitting New York; hence this questionnaire.
