I Fail Enough And I Beat Myself

I Thought It Would Be A Great Opportunity To Work With Someone That I Really Like And Really Respect As An Artist [like Alessandro Michele].

When I Was A Kid, I Used To Live In New York City. There Was A Guy Named Michael Alig. He Used To Throw Parties. And A Couple Of Times, I Even Worked For Him And His Crew, And Handed Out Fliers, And Had My Super-high Shoes On, And Wearing Silver Saran Wrap Around My Head Or Something. It's A World I Was Really Comfortable In: A World Full Of Individuals. I Think What I Like About That World - Besides My Own Personal Interests - Is The Individualism, The Investment In The Self.

My Proudest Moment Was When I Was In High School, Some Jackass Tried To Give Me A Wedgy. I Came Prepared, I Went Commando. It Tickled.

I Kind Of Follow That When I Get Dressed. I Think If It's Comfortable And It's Cozy And It Kind Of Makes You Feel Good, Then Those Are Good Reasons To Wear Something.

This Is An Industry [high Fashion] That Has An Abundance Of Over-confidence. I Don't Think Anyone Would Dispute That, And I'm Not Trying To Pick On Anybody, But That's Just A Fact, Right? And Sometimes That's Fun.
