”I don’t believe in following trends or fashions… Firstly. I think fashion trends lead to an elitist view that if you don’t follow them, you are somehow not cool or worthy. My opinion is that as soon as you start to follow a trend, you are already a step behind. I think men and women should set trends and fashion statements with individuality, not follow the crowd. I take my inspirations never from the fashion runways, but from the likes of iconic figures and films.”
