Q: What do your showcase’s consist of for people who have never been?
A: During past showcases I have featured work of Art on Canvas in a gallery setting or empty venue space and fill it with my work. Many of my fashion showcases have been more gorilla style where I might go to a specific place and create a flash mob of some sort with my models wearing my designs. For viewers it creates an immersive experience and allows them to be apart of the Art.
Q:Who is your favorite designer?
A: Currently my Favorite Designer is Dapper Dan
Q: What do you like to design the most?
