Since launching his eponymous brand only a few seasons ago, the designer’s voluminous silhouettes, sharp tailoring and unabashed use of color have already earned him a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award. Rihanna, Ashley Graham and Michelle Obama are all fans.

🍊”I’m inspired by the people who refuse to be quiet right now, who see the injustice, the disparities, and do something about it. Dr. Fauci, Rihanna, I’m looking at you. I’m inspired by people still injecting beauty into this world when it’s so grim outside. I’m inspired by people who get up everyday and go to work. I’m inspired by the innovative ways we’re developing to let a person know you still care. I’m inspired by all the nostalgic photos my mother continues to send me of her and my father from back in the day. I’m inspired by Mother Nature--she’s thriving and you can’t help but reflect on how small we are in comparison. I’m inspired by the summer...it may not look like past ones on record, but I refuse to believe it’s canceled. And I’m inspired by what’s to come. This pandemic proved how unsustainable our system was before and exposed the gross disparities that divide us along class, race, and privilege. I want to rebuild. I want to start over.”

🪀 "I'm not trying to be anything but myself because apparently everything is working so far," he admits. "I don't feel the need to belong. [But] until very recently, I will say I was trying to be cool. Like, 'What are the things I can do to be cool and edgy and whatever?' But I'm not... I don't know, I'm not cool, I'm just me. I just want to be your friend, and so hopefully when you put on my clothes you feel like I'm hugging you, or saying, “You look sickening, bitch.” 💚 Three of the dolls with magical mugs by @marcelogutierrez and cloudy coiffures by @naeemahlafond for @amikapro, captured by @adrienneraquel and styled by @christinachanel for the April 2020 issue of @papermagazine, with words by @marioabad. 🪀
