Nicolas Muller of Arcus

Nicolas Muller was born in the spring of 1982 and grew up in a small Swiss town called Aarau. Having the Alps in front of him meant it was only a question of time before he started skiing and being that he was also a skateboarder meant it was only a question of time before skiing changed into snowboarding. Back then, the resort of Laax, Switzerland was famous for its great halfpipes, and shortly after Nicolas started riding them, he also became famous for his stylish straight airs.
Nicolas has also been gracing the front pages of probably every European snowboard mag, along with riding great at every single contest he enters. For the last four years, Muller’s parts in Absinthe Films’ videos have been amazing. Add a down to earth character and a very open approach to life, and you get one unique person and snowboardera nd the point of all this is?
Arcus, my own little streetwear label. Freddie Kalbermatten and I started it four years ago. It’s still very small and underground. Right now you only can get it in select shops in Europe, but we’ll be in Japan soon and hopefully in North America, too. So marketing-wise, I should say-watch out!
