People think I'm being stupid or false humble. It's not. I don't think I always fit in. Maybe it's a complex you get as someone who has always been fighting on the outside.

I think the way the world has evolved, it's maybe caught up to me. It makes more sense and it makes it click on a larger scale.

The fact that people look at pictures so tiny on Instagram - people ask me about it popping on Instagram, but I didn't alter myself to be that. I didn't change for the screens, I've just been doing me.

I've always loved plastics and rubber, and it's such a specifically unique material that you have to have the manufacturing abilities to make it.

I always love trying to put my arms around more people. As a designer, it's a great compliment when people wear your clothes or buy your products, so to do things that are more affordable and have more of a distribution is always very exciting - especially when I can still bring my personality in complete, heavy doses. It's not a diluted version of me; it's a very clear extension of my personality.

I just love the ideal of the surreal quality of putting it on a shoe.

Nowadays, individual style isn't just much more understood, but much more appreciated; that there's not one forced look that we're all supposed to adhere to, and everyone can find their place that way.
