People sometimes wear shirts that are really boxy, and you can see them over the top of their trousers, which doesn't look right to me.

For years I've been seeing my young brothers wearing Scarface T-shirts, John Gotti T-shirts, Rick James T-shirts. We don't have any icons or idols to look up to, just rappers and professional athletes.

Growing up, Guess always had these amazing billboards and cool affordable clothing. I wore it then, and I still wear it now! It's come full-circle. When I design the clothes, I have a very good team around me, showing me different pieces and cuts.

I wear white or pale-blue shirts and black knit ties: They don't draw attention to me in any kind of peacockish way.

The early pictures of me you see online, in just T-shirts and hoodies - I'm still that guy with the hoodie. But what you don't get to see in most of those pics is that I had these red clogs on that had, like, eyeballs on the ends of them that I drew on. That speaks a little bit more to what I was going after, stylistically.

I am a huge hip-hop fan, and growing up, I only listened to hip-hop, so I dressed accordingly.

Gap clothing allows you to look like you're from nowhere and anywhere.

I never kept up with the fashions. I believed in wearing what I thought looked good on me.

I don't think I do look like an A-Lister. I'm more interested in being comfortable in my own skin than trying to be somebody I'm not. Gimme jeans, an old T-shirt, cowboy boots and a baseball cap any day.
