I guess I accidentally became a part of history. Honestly, when you're young and you're a designer, you have a goal, but that is not the kind of goal that you even think it's possible to achieve.

I was very preppy in my childhood. I also went through an anti-clothing moment where I just wanted to wear sweats because I'd just moved to Canada. My mom was always trying to get me into proper clothes, but I never wanted to wear them, and now that's all I wear.

I worked 10 years as a toy designer before I started my career as a fashion designer. It's something I just fell into and really liked.

I woke up one day and I was like, "I don't have anything to save for myself for the future." That's when I started archiving things. I take four or five things that are really key to each collection, and I restore them or, in some cases, remake parts of them, and archive them.

Buy things you truly love, things that are special, but not a lot of them. It’s about value, not quantity.

I hope being gay isn't the most interesting thing about me.

We all want to be a little glamorous, a little playful and a little mischievous at times.
