Style Q&A with Jon Savage
Jon Savage is currently one of the NicSocks Aficionados. We like him. We like his style and wanted to find out more about the way he dresses and a few other things.
So we started a Style Q&A. This is a new feature that we'll be doing as often as we can.
Jon is the very first person that we've asked these questions and his answers are top notch, obviously.
So here goes...
