Check out a few excerpts from his interview, which the mag notes “was edited and condensed for clarity.”
On his early love for fashion:
“On Yeah, like five years old. I just liked picking out my own outfit
for kindergarten. Now my daughter definitely picks out her own outfits
and she will lay it down and look at it and say, ‘This is not great.’
And then she tries to tell me what to wear and what she likes out of the
closet, like just my mom being in a fur store and me picking one and
saying, ‘I like this one mom,’ and her looking at the price and it being
the most expensive one. So, I think that’s where I got the expensive
taste from.”
On the fashion industry not being on his side:
“I wouldn’t say that anyone in fashion is on my side. I don’t think
there’s anyone on my side. I’m not saying I like that. I’m saying that
to this date they do not understand who I am. They will not understand
until after I’m gone. I am misunderstood and there is no one in fashion
that’s on my side.”
On his definition of success:
“For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a
definition of success. Doing things to the maximum….You know what’s my
definition of success? Being able to be 39 years old, a black male, and
articulate myself in this way and back it up. My definition of success
is dropping a Charlie Sheen-level tweet and being like, ‘I am in debt
and fuck you.’ Now what?”
