I don't know exactly what is my impact, but I can say I am doing fashion my own way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of self-importance goes on in the fashion industry. I'm not like that.
I never thought of myself as being limited to fashion. I'm a designer, and if you have a vision, you can apply that to anything.
I'm aware of people's association with me and fashion and I certainly take that role on for some occasions, but it doesn't dominate my thoughts all the time.
My involvement in fashion is not at the highest artistic level.
Being part of the fashion world, I'm definitely not a fashion victim. If the style that's going on at that moment suits me, I might integrate it slightly into my look. I'm someone with my own unique style.
I'm not a slave to fashion; I'm into exercising my individuality.
So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.
The fashion thing is something I do, and yes, it is definitely also becoming a part of myself and my personality. It also doesn't really feel like a job, either: it's a dream or a passion or something.
Fashion changes. Everyone in fashion changes. I think it's important to change it up and reinvent yourself every now and again.
In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.
