In the last FRU Profile you met Little Red Riding Hood, now
it’s time to meet the Big Bad Wolf. That’s not just a clever turn of phrase, the
literal translation of our subjects name (Vuk, pronounced Vook) from Serbian is
Wolf. Although he may be a wolf by nature, Vuk has the perseverance and
uniqueness of a true Underdog.
In the grand scheme of things, I haven’t known Vuk for long,
but we’ve become very close friends very quickly. He’s one of those people you truly
expect to be a forever friend. He has a Masters degree in IT, and a doctorate
in being an IT boy, but his future, as he sees it, lies in fashion journalism. We’re very different in many aspects, but what
we do have in common is an outspoken personality and a love of fashion. A true
Montenegrin, Vuk is charismatic and confident, which means he can basically
carry off any look he likes.
Vuk’s style, in his words, is a mix, match and work in
progress. However, what he sees as a work in progress is nothing more than the
simple style changes we all constantly undergo as we grow up. Truly, he has a
defined palate and sense of style, the changes are just seasonal. However, and
perhaps due to my own influence, Vuk has recently joined the dark side
(literally), and nowadays most of his wardrobe is filled with dark and muted colours.
His fashion influences are Scott Disick, Kanye West and Joannes Huebl, meaning
he stands somewhere between being a gentleman and being A$AP Rocky (no offense
A$AP)
Vuk’s style helps him stand out in the pack, another reason
he can be considered an underdog. Living in Eastern Europe isn’t easy when you
have the style sense of Scott Disick and the sass to match, but Vuk has
persevered and proven himself as a survivor. I’m especially happy to be a part
of his life during this period, as I get to see him going from ripped jeans to
wearing the trousers in his life. He may be an Underdog at the moment, but he’s
an Alpha at heart.
