Fashion Haunts Magazine got a chance to sit down with a exclusive interview with Christopher Valiante creator of Blöke NYC and talk directly to him about his up coming wedding to his partner Victor Coimbra.
FHM: So Christopher let's start out with the easy questions first cause trust me I’m ready to “go there” with you!
CV: Oh boy! Ok shoot.
FHM: So date and location was a secret: Times up! Let our readers know the details.
CV: Ha! Ok soooo the date will be March 7, 2020 and the wedding is actually 3 parts. The entire wedding will be held on the campus of Felician College in Rutherford NJ.
FHM: So Christopher, Tell us about Victor! And tell us what will happen to Blöke in the future.
CV: Wow that’s a lot! (Sigh) Before Victor I took almost three years off from dating. I was completely over it and wanted to concentrate on my career. I met Victor and we decided to go out to lunch to a Brazilian restaurant in Ironbound because as you know victor is Brazilian. After that we walked through the cherry trees and we kissed and it was like getting slapped in the face. I dropped him off at his place and drove home and just started to laugh and said to myself, oh crap this is it, this is the guy you’re going to marry.
FHM: Seriously just like that you knew right away?
CV: Yup right away. And I guess I was right because “here we are!” Lol

FHM: What was it about Victor that made you want to settle down because I’ve seen you grow as a person as an artist and a lot of your inspiration comes from a fast paced lifestyle and some tough experiences.
CV: Well ok so the second I met him I looked into his eyes and I don’t know it was as if I knew him, like We didn’t meet for the first time like we were just reconnecting. And I felt like I had to protect him, like he belonged to me, like he was mine.
FHM: So last question that I’m sure fans of Blöke are dying to know I know I’m dying to know is this the end of Blöke? Now that you are settled as this it?
CV: Noooo! For starters there are a lot more stories for me to tell of the past through fragrance. A lot more chapters that need to be pulled out of my diaries and share with the world. I’m actually working on two new fragrances as we speak shhhh! But I also think that there will be an interesting turn on how my creativity is channeled from a place of pain to place from love.
FHM: Oh one last thing I promise I promise this is the last question. Will there be a Victor fragrance.
CV: Well all I can say is you’re going to have to wait till the wedding to find the answer to that question out!
