Even though Prince wasn’t rapping and it was a whole different era, it shows how artists expressed themselves without saying too much, and that was the real beauty of the art.
I guess with the generation we live in, we just want to be entertained at the end of the day. A lot of artists make themselves accessible, so they feel like every artist should be like that. Some artists shouldn’t be so accessible, to me.
I’m working on this fashion line that’s all inspired by Vietnam. I’m Vietnamese so a lot of the clothes are inspired by Vietnamese culture, and I’m trying to mix that with the streetwear style.
Just to stay focused on my path and not the path that other people or media want to put me in. Just to stay focused on my vision, because I put out what I want people to know about me. Everything else is what the media puts out.
Social media is so powerful now, and with all these blog sites and YouTube channels and videos, it makes it more and more relevant to bridge artists together.
I’m happy that I’m learning and a lot of these fashion houses are willing to collaborate. I just want to put my swag to what they’re doing, because I like street style.
