THE TALENT // DENNIS KLAFFERT
Meet Dennis Klaffert. Heβs a guy who doesnβt fit into fashion. Instead, he bends it to fit him.Β
Read our Q&A with Dennis and get the low-down on the L.A. he loves. From existential 2am taco runs to going up against a clown in an audition, heβs seen everything this town has to offer.Β
We asked him everything from his first Hollywood crush to where he heads when he wants to skip town. Heβs keeping his lips sealed on at least one of those.Β
Read on to find out what secrets heβs spilling and what stays in the vault.
Do you have a favorite L.A. story?
I once got stuck in traffic next to a guy doing vocal warm-ups in full clown makeup. Ten minutes later, we both ended up at the same audition. He booked it. I got a parking ticket. Classic L.A.
Whatβs your favorite movie about L.A.?
Heat. Because nothing says βL.A.β like existential criminals, sunlit shootouts, and Robert De Niro trying to outrun his own loneliness on the 105.
What's your favorite L.A. soundtrack?
Drive. It turns every 2am taco run into an existential, synth-soaked dreamscape. Bonus points if your carβs A/C is broken.
Where do you disappear to when itβs time to skip town?
Canβt say. Thatβs why it still works.
Whoβs your biggest L.A. icon?
The Hollywood sign, but only from behind. Itβs the loneliest view in town.
Whatβs your fave Hiro Clark go-to?
The perfect white tee. Because in L.A., dressing βeffortlessβ takes a suspicious amount of effort. Hiro Clark just makes it look easy.
Beach, mountains, or desert?
All three in one day β itβs the only L.A. flex thatβs better than knowing someone with a pool and parking.
Itβs sunrise: are you more likely to be getting up early or finally going to bed?
Getting up early looks better on paper. But the truth? Iβve seen more sunrises from the wrong side of sleep.
Who was your first Hollywood crush?
Honestly, I donβt remember who. But I remember wanting to be the kind of person theyβd see across the room and stay for.
