As part of our myKOREA series, we’ll be asking someone on the local scene to share their journey through Korean culture by naming their favourite musicians, movies, and artists. We’ll also be asking them to tell us about one more thing of their choosing.
Top bloke Matthew Gamble, aka DIAZABLE APPAREL, is an alternative clothes designer living in Seoul.

After seeing Matthew selling Diazable merch at Oily Rag's first show, my attention was piqued. He didn't disappear quietly after that, so I decided to interview him so I could see what he's about, and whether he's running a sweatshop. Tl;dr he's not.
