The thing is you can be a great designer but you can also be lazy or not understand the other person's preferences or be more concerned about being a star than being good at what you do.

I wasn't able to afford high-end brands or any of that, so I grew up on streetwear.

I wanted to give people an experience. I wanted them to get their money's worth.

Starting out is very difficult if you don't have a clientele.

Even though I wasn't making a lot of money I was enjoying what I was doing.

Even when I was just designing T-shirts people really gravitated to them.

I believe that if you work hard enough and do things the right way recognition will come.
