The
most interesting question, what inspired you to be a designer?
I
have been designing since I was very young. I think this sort of
expression runs in my family because it felt like fire in my blood.
It was as if the choice was not my own but an impulse or energy from
another time evoking me. As much as I tried to do other things this
is were I really felt at home time and time again.
Your
Wedges really stand out in the collection "Clothing for the
Emotionally Dispossessed". Just how tall are they?
They
are four inches in the front and seven in the back so they give you
an all around towering posture.
Can
your fashion be found in your closet?
Of
course, My style is the only thing I know, trust and can afford.
What's
your favorite article of clothing for this season?
I
always have two pairs of brothel creepers, a day one and a night one.
This means a clean pair and an absolutely mangled pair.
Where
did you do your studies?
Central
Saint Martin B.A Women's Wear, and that was interesting to say the
least.
Your
current place of residence?
I
have lived in London since 2004 and travel to Miami to visit my
family when ever the account allows but It has been over a year.
Actually, I will be visiting my family in a month and I am very
excited about seeing my grandparents and family.
How
do you plan to make your label more well known?
It
was almost an accident. I have no desire to be " known" in
that context. I think I have a very modest way of thinking about how
I want to have publicity as I want to keep my work sacred and
non-mainstream. Slowly but surely stylist, magazines and Blogs are
catching on and I love the one on one relationship I have with these
people. It keeps the work personal and I want to enjoy this while I
can.
What
do you want your clothing to say to others? What is its cause?
I
want to be respected for my art form and for the nature of hand
cutting and making everything entirely myself. I want to create items
that people keep forever. Not hear today gone tomorrow trends that
don't remain an important part of fashion history.
Do
you design Men's Accessories?
I
would say A/W10 had a lot of uni sex pieces and they have been shot
on both men and women. I am definitely intending on focusing on men
more at some point.
What
kind of woman could we see wearing your clothes?
The
kind of girl who is not scared of anything, I want my accessories to
give an added sense of strength and protection to the wearer.
Do
you think your fashion is easy to accept?
I
get funny looks on a regular basis, especially by fashionista, they
think I'm homeless or a scum bag. Good, I can spend more time
focusing on my work and less time at parties being judged.
What
does fashion mean to you?
For
me it is a way of testing social norms. I want to intercept it and
say " In case you didn't know everyone, Its o.k to be in fashion
and not be fake or manipulative"
How
can I buy parts of your collection?
