Interview: Paul Khor
[ThinkMaven] The globetrotting fashion boutique owner Paul Khor has been hard at work over the last few years building his little empire. However, there’s no empire without a story, and looking at the three stores that Paul built out of nothing, the story can be found behind the retail doors and between the hangers.

Interview: Mayer Hawthorne
[ThinkMaven] 32-year-old Andrew Mayer Cohen is considered the whitest soul man around. Going by his stage name Mayer Hawthorne, the Michigan born-Los Angeles based singer-songwriter has been shaking up tail feathers with his smooth falsetto, throwback charm and all-round cool vibe. Having recently turned up at The White Rabbit for a DJ gig, I met up with the multi-talented artist and unearthed his musical roots, impending legacy and unassuming style.
