All Work And Play
September 5th, 2008 | New York
If you want to be successful these days, you better be equipped with a skill set to match. Case in point: multidisciplinary talent William Eadon's impressive resume of titles is enough to make any creative shake in their paint splattered Converse high-tops.In addition to his 15-year tenure as a designer for Cynthia Rowley, Eadon boasts a part-time teaching gig at Parsons and a budding photography career. He also has a successful line of denim that's selling out at Seven New York (Terence Koh recently purchased a one-of-a-kind mirror length pair) and does consulting work with fashion labels such as Libertine. If that's not enough, Eadon's most recent accomplishment is a newly minted line of micro pyramid necklaces that were featured in Alexander Wang's recent look book and are already being sported by Cory Kennedy and Mark the Cobra Snake.
As a multi-tasking maven, Eadon understands the importance of versatility. He notes: "There is great value in being able to see things from different perspectives. Being able to consider an idea/form from multiple realities, to makes transitions easier and more fluid. I think a technical understanding of endeavors is also very important—creativity really is 99% perspiration." No one knows what Eadon will pull out next from his magic hat, but we're sure it won't be any old rabbit.
