As a young designer in tune with culture, I'm interested in the lifeline of trends.
Punk's influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool.
If you don't fit into this kind of like gossipy, trendy, Web-hit thingy, you're relegated to sort of second-class celebrity status.
One good and bad thing about New York is there's so much exciting stuff and so many people doing something interesting. I actually find in New York that you become more careerist and more focused on what's the newest, hippest thing.
I do tend to sometimes keep myself updated with whatever is trending but I don't really follow fashion trends.
I've always known that I'm a little out of vogue.
We're so trendy we can't even escape ourselves.
