When I first started my own brand, when I needed an icon, I had no other icon but myself. I had to create that.

I think as humans we're nostalgic creatures and that's what we do. We go back to things that have a semblance of something comforting, or enough time passes that it seems cool again, or maybe it's something that some people didn't even experience.

Working at Moschino has been great because I just have to deliver when I have to deliver.

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

Working with Moschino, a real high fashion Italian brand, maybe I'm under tighter deadlines, but sometimes under tight deadlines you do your best work.
