If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she's got to take them off my feet and look inside.

For me, growing up in Harlem and then migrating down to SoHo and the Lower East Side and chillin' down there and making that my stomping ground... That was a big thing, because I'm from Harlem, and downtown is more artsy and also more open-minded. So I got the best of both worlds.

Sometimes I feel like what's hard for fashion designers to do is take looks from off the runway and actually put it into existence, into reality. That's really the hard part.

I've got so much in my brain and I want to change the way we think sometimes.

A lot of energy and excitement - that's what a lot of my shows are, energy and excitement.

When Big Meech and everybody got indicted, hustling died. Keep it trill.

So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.
