James Dobson the founder and designer of New Zealand label Jimmy D isn't afraid of pushing creative boundaries.

He chats candidly with Sonia Sly at his K Road home (which is above his workroom) about approaching design with a sense of humour, working with stylist King Kang Chen, life before the internet and being at home in the fashion industry.
