We were lucky to catch up with Josh Holm recently and have shared our conversation below.
Josh, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about the best boss, mentor, or leader you’ve ever worked with.
I’ve been blessed to have some amazing bosses which has definitely shaped my leadership style now. I was taught a hard work ethic, patience, and how to execute in high pressure situations. Some bosses that stand out to me are Nicole and Missy from my days in retail. And Mac from H. Lorenzo.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am the Creative Director and founder of Castles & Queens. A third year mens and womenswear brand based in Los Angeles. We have participated in New York and Milan Fashion Week and currently released our AW23 capsule collection. I also offer local cut & sew manufacturing and consultation to various artists and brands.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
It has always been about creating a long lasting fashion house that speaks to it’s directed consumer in hopes to inspire them through various artistic campaigns. As we grow as a brand we would like to set up our home base in the Arts District of Los Angeles and continuing to employ our local workers.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The freedom in creating my own schedule and being your own boss. Essentially as a creative you consistently bet on yourself and your ability to execute against all odds.
