My girlfriend is a fashion designer. She has her own company called Rachel Antonoff. She is doing a collaboration with Urban Outfitters right now, a shoe collaboration with Bass. She sells to Barneys, stuff like that.

I idolised bands like Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, who wanted to reach as many people as they could.
