Fashion is an extension of my art. My feelings, my clothes, my paintings all come from the same inspiration and celebration of life.
What makes your style stand out?
I believe it stands out due to my perspective on style. What I feel inside has a huge influence on what I make and what I wear. I’ve been making clothes and creating my own personal style almost my entire life. A huge part of my art is creating a unique silhouette with handmade hats, a good pair of boots and a unique coat.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be to visit the house of Vivienne Westwood or getting to meet Maison Margiela. As a former professional skateboarder I felt very connected to their philosophies and diy esthetic and it would be amazing to be around either influence.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would love to use the $20,000 to finally launch a custom hat line.
