I went to school on a military base in Germany. I got a lot of my clothes at the army surplus store.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We only got clothing once a year, like, right before school began. It's like, that's when you got your clothing.
I grew up as a fairly poor kid in, you know, Toronto, Canada. I don't think I owned any new clothes until I was, like, 15 or something. They were all second-hand and forged from paper.
I collect a lot of clothes when I travel around the world.
A lot of stuff I wear I've had since high school.
I have lots of vintage clothes.
I collect underwear from my travels. Lace, lingerie, bodysuits... they're like souvenirs.
Striped shirts and printed shorts, jeans, and trousers are all items I buy and wear a lot in my private life.
My parents got me a sewing machine for Christmas during my senior year of high school. I made three pieces of clothing and had a fashion show at the end of the year, where we had to wear the clothes that we made. I took it to a whole new level; I made all my friends clothes.
I did not have any money, so when I came to New York, I just dressed myself with whatever I could find and the Army-Navy store.
As a kid, I would always shop for my back-to-school clothes at department stores. I lived in a small town, and department stores were all we had access to.
