How did you discover streetwear?
I discovered streetwear thanks to my brother and his friends. I starting buying shoes and slowly I became passionate about collecting shoes and certain clothes.

When I go to school I avoid wearing things that are too extravagant…. Just because I don’t want to ruin anything, and at recess I can play freely with my classmates
What would you like to do when you grow up?
When I grow up I would like to have a successful brand of my own or work in the fashion industry.
Your favorite snack? Do you like Nutella?
My favorite snack is a donut, and also I really like Nutella.

Videogames or Off White?

Pizza or chips?
Pizza is my life.
If you could share a message with your followers, what would you say?
Thank you for the continuous support you give me every day and I hope I won’t disappoint you in the future! I am doing a lot of things and soon you will hear some big news.
Do you have a girlfriend?
No at the moment I don’t have a girlfriend. I had one before, but she was too jealous ?.

What’s your shoe size? Are you afraid that your feet are growing and your favorite shoes won’t fit anymore?
At the moment I wear a 37/38, but it depends on the model of sneakers. And, obviously some shoes will no longer fit me, but will be part of my collection so they will remain in my shoe closet. And for my favorite shoes, I try to buy larger sizes too so they will fit me later on.
Where do you keep your shoe collection?
I keep the best ones on a shoe rack and all of the others inside the boxes in my bedroom, even if I don’t know where to put all of them.
