"I don't want [fashion] to be dictated from the top, when the bottom gave birth to it."
The industry veteran shares that young people continue to inspire him. "You are only as young and as old as your thoughts. Your thoughts comprise who you are," he says. "I surround myself with younger people and how they're thinking."
"I try to tell young creatives, 'Don't get locked up in yourself,'" he adds. "You are as creative as you think you are, there's no doubt in that. But if you get locked in yourself, your creativity might not be for this time."
He also wants younger creatives to know "there's no right or wrong" in fashion; "there's a weak or strong." "I don't want [fashion] to be dictated from the top, when the bottom gave birth to it," he says.
