Franky Villani – Tumblr Time

Advertisement

After we had finished this interview in the tourvan during the New Balance Numeric trip in Cologne, Franky told me, that he was a bit nervous before, because it was his first interview ever. I felt a bit ashamed for only asking our stupid tumblr questions, but he seemed fine with it. He’s the most easy going guy. The next weeks I was slacking, it was summertime, so it took a while to transcribe the interview and prepare this article. In the meantime his Jenkem interview went online, which is now his first published interview. But this one was just a little fun thing anyway, although it seems like he was already talking about leaving Zero by then. (And in the end we managed to do a proper interview for our recent issue).
