Command House Clothing (CHC): Simon you’ve been modelling now for a number of years and also branched out into becoming a successful photographer, how has the transition been from one spectrum of the camera to another?

Simon Howard (SNH): It was a really easy transition, I have a background in design, and actually have a degree in design also, so have always been creative. I really enjoy the freedom and expression as a photographer.

CHC: Have there been any major changes in the industry from when you first started to now, if so how have you adapted?

SNH: The industry has changed massively since I first started the internet and social media have changed everything. It makes all the opportunities accessible to everyone and has made the industry even more competitive.

CHC: You’ve worked with major talents in fitness world and still going strong, how have you kept yourself grounded?

SNH: I have always been a realist, It could all be other tomorrow so you can’t let success change you. I am always grateful for the opportunities I get.

CHC: Speaking more about apparel, do you dress more for fashion or function?

SNH: Probably more function, as I am always busy.

CHC: What’s your fashion obsession?

SNH: I’m a basic jeans and t-shirt guy really.

CHC: Is there something you would never wear, or something you’ve regretting wearing in the past?

SNH: I worked as a model for a number of years so there are loads I regret having to wear.

CHC: Over the past 6 months what’s been your best buy?

SNH: I’ve had quite a few functions to attend so have had to invest in some new dress shirts, I find if you spend a bit more and get one that has some shape and tailoring it’s a much better buy.

CHC: What do you predict to be the star buy of the Command House Spring/Summer collection?

SNH: As I said I am jeans and t-shirt guy, and there are some great t-shirts in the new range so I am sure they will go down well.

CHC: Keeping in mind your own experiences, what’s your top tip for a guy in what to wear when going out on a date?

SNH: Depends on where you are taking her, if I was keeping it casual I would definitely wear my Command House Hoodie.

CHC: Finally do you have any upcoming projects/events that you would like to inform your fans.

SNH: I’m really lucky I always have a lot of diverse projects going on, doors seem to be opening to me in lots of different areas, and for all those interested definitely add my facebook page SNHFoto to keep up to date with my latest work.
