John Noi
Operations Director
With many strings to his bow, John brings over twenty years' experience working across branding and strategic insight projects for luxury, fashion, and culture brands for the likes of LVMH, Chanel and Givenchy, to name a few. His calm, focused and supportive approach to building teams and projects underpins our ever-expanding global relationships.
Luxury brands aside, when he's not following what's happening in arts and culture, he can be found creating electronic music mixes meant for dimly-lit spaces, or drinking strong black coffee in strongly-lit spaces.
I got my start...by choosing a career path that was completely irrational but ended up rational
Before I begin a new project I always...make sure that it pushes the envelope
Someone who influenced my life was...Jean-Luc Godard
Something you didn't know, but you should know about me is...I don't own a pair of jeans
My favourite quote is..."there are too many fools following too many rules"
John Loves
visit: Dover Street Market
"The only fashion retailer that feels like you've stepped into an art gallery ,complete with floors and floors of the latest fashions, and a tasty bakery on the top floor."
watch: Last Year at Marrienbad
"A perplexing, word-free film set in a palace in a park, which has been converted into a luxury hotel. It still confuses me (in a good way) thirty years after the first time I saw it"
visit: Fold
"One of the best places to experience the best electronic music until the sun rises in the early hours, complete with views of an industrial park just next door"
listen: Door To The Sun by The Stargazer Lillies
"I've always enjoyed the spirals of glowy, post shoe-gaze noisy fuzz, lackadaisical reverb and slow-shake rhythms that have a dark side"
