The thing that I realize about fashion now, fashion and music, now versus back then is that you had to have fresh records and be fresh.

I don't want people to see what I've been doing at Play Cloths for nine years and built from a streetwear independence standpoint through Japanese streetwear - I don't want that to be shifted into something else.

Even with social media and where we are...everything is about the look.

Personally I really like to see when a woman can put together a super fresh everyday look that is not over done or anything. It just makes me feel like she's really something and she knows she doesn't have to have on the super tight skirt.

I feel like Hip Hop culture has always been about [fashion]...it started in the street so it has always been a thing of the streets to be first.

Fashion right now, people are so...everything is driven by the aesthetic.

I don't think I'm a collector. I think every kid from where I'm from had a terrible passion for having to have fresh kicks.
