Question: How did you first break into the fashion world?

“I got a job as a fashion editor because I had left a comment on some article on Instagram and I kind of called him out. I was like “you’re missing some stuff here” And his editor saw the comment and was like, do you want to work for me? And mind you, he’s based in Berlin, and I was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Very funny. I ended up working at Highsnobiety because of that.”

Question: What’s something that changed how you think about clothing entirely?

“My roommate has a hand loom, a shuttle loom, where he makes his own fabric and then makes his own clothing. It takes hours, hours. He spent 90 hours on a shirt. That is how clothes should be made. And that shirt will last long after he’s dead. You can feel the amount of effort that goes into items. And it’s a very empathetic thing to experience when you can tell just how much work and time and effort, blood, sweat, and tears went into making it a thing.”

Question: What’s a belief about fashion that people might misunderstand about you?

Pretentiousness and passion are often misconstrued. I am passionate about what I like, that is not pretentiousness. Slow fashion is really interesting to me. And I now gravitate towards these designers that have no social media, no websites. A lot of the designers that I like only allow one store per country to stock their items. There are no photos online at retail. It’s like, it’s very like, there’s an allure of elitism and pretentiousness and gatekeepingness, but it’s okay, I think. It’s not for everyone but…”

Question: What draws you to older aesthetics?

“It’s almost like nostalgia. Whether it’s medieval or like Ancient Sumeria or, you know, name it. I find it wildly interesting, and that is also why I dress kind of like this. You can kind of look at someone and know what they believe in or what they are interested in just based on how they dress.”
