If I could predict the trends, they would already be there.

I've never said I'm a fashion designer.

The pervasive idea is that if you're a man in the fashion industry, you're gay until proven otherwise. And of course there are lots of men who aren't. But people make certain assumptions.

I'm very budget-minded myself, and it serves me well.

I've worn a suit and tie for most of my life. And I believe (for me), it makes me more confident navigating the world.

I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.

I pretty much stay true to myself and try to find the good in people and not be snarky.
