Our interview with Michael Hill is mythological. Michael—the creative director of Drake's—joined us at The Standard, London while we were in town for a long time coming conversation on wear testing your own products, full circle moments, Drake's getting mixed up for Drake (which, while a silly joke, actually happens), staying true to your heritage in a volatile landscape, iterating vs. sticking to the vision, the pressure he felt when he took the reigns over 15 years ago, assisting and learning from founder Michael Drake, following in his father Charles Hill's footsteps, why Drake's has resonated with a younger generation of menswear fans, how collabing with ALD was a game changer, gearing up for the brand's 50th anniversary, responding to pricing criticisms, how his job has changed since Mark Cho sold his stake in the brand and how it's going with his new partners, moving to Saville Row, and much more on Michael Hill's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.
