What is happiness to you?
I want to do every Fashion Week in every city and open and close every single show, men’s and women’s.
Who’s the most famous person you’ve met?
I met Naomi Campbell and I threw up immediately after because I was so starstruck.
What’s your favourite item of clothing right now?
I got myself a vintage Mötley Crüe T‑shirt off eBay and it smells like whiskey and sweat.
How do you indulge yourself?
I really enjoy going to restaurants that have dress codes and operating within them in as unique a way as I can. You can’t wear trainers or jeans, but they didn’t say you can’t wear a silk pirate shirt.
Who do you admire?
I admire the Black trans women who fronted the gay liberation movement in America.
Do you have a catchphrase?
I admire the Black trans women who fronted the gay liberation movement in America.
Do you collect anything?
Tattoos.
Three words to describe yourself?
Emo, stoner, twink… Straight-twink. Which confuses everyone, including me.
What advice would you like to pass on to the rest of the world?
Ask for what you need. I don’t know how I ever expected things to happen without asking for them. Vocalising what you want from people or life is so important.
