I Never Sing Under The Shower, I

I Wanted To Be A Visual Artist Because I Grew Up Around A Lot Of Painters And Photographers And Had A Very Artistic Upbringing. And I Fantasized About Being A Drug-dealer When I Was A Kid. I Thought It Would Be A Good Opportunity; I Knew That The Market Would Be Strong. Is That Bizarre?

Alessandro [michele] Has Really Done The Impossible. He's Taken This Classic Brand [gucci] And Really Turned It Completely Around And Taken It In A Direction That Was So Unexpected. [alessandro And I] Met And Became Friends Here In L.a., And Then We Got To Know Each Other And He Asked Me To Do This. It Was Really Organic And Not The Way This Stuff Normally Happens.

It Was Great Growing Up A Nomad. To This Day I Still Love Hiking And Back Packing.

[alessandro Michele] Is Finally Made Clothing For Men That Is As Fun To Wear As The Clothes That Women Get To Wear. That's Not Often The Case. There's A Sense Of Joy And Celebration In It.

I Think That To Explore The Uncomfortable And The Politically Incorrect Is The Job Of The Artist.
