This week, I had the honor of talking with Matt Hricz, the founder of one of Canada’s most successful brands @rude.vogue . For those who are unfamiliar, Rude Vogue is a very clean cut street-style brand that offers well made Tees, Hoodies, and accessories to the marketplace.

This episode details the story of a brand born from one of the most interesting places on earth, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, as well as dives into the key ingredients as to why Rude Vogue is successful.

I was first introduced to Chris via TikTok when his post, and aesthetic caught my attention. As I peeled back the layers on his story, I discovered how much depth he has as a creative individual. From his editorial work, to his time acting Chris is truly a unicorn of a creative. Don't let me forget to mention that Chris is also in the midst of working on another physical publication which should come out this fall.
