I oftentimes say that I design my collections off my phone. I'm in a group chat with my team in Milan. I copy and paste. I draw. I look at trends. I don't really have an assistant. It's a modern way of working. I don't know if it's sustainable, but it's how I do it.

I've always had this in some ways pessimistic and in some ways realistic idea that I'm the lowest rung on the ladder.

If you look at why people become wack as they get older, it's because they stop doing the things they did that were formative to their work. You can't mentally stay still. You can't not challenge yourself.

My general premise is not about selling clothes. If that's your end goal, then all of a sudden everything looks the same, you know - you start designing by numbers.

I'm mostly into buying art from friends. I like to keep it vague - just whatever I find intriguing.

I don't have the patience to be a non-creator.
