Being one step ahead of a fashion trend is not so important to me. What matters is to always forge ahead. I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?

I am what I am
I get ideas about what's essential when packing my suitcase. I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon. Before I was not so proud to make fashion. My family thought fashion wasn't very interesting. So I hid that. Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice. It's really easy to get colors right.
