Did you guys feel like that was the direction it was going?: Not at all. When Kerby came to us while we were designing, he loved what we did. And he was so excited and so inspired and even said, “I would rock that. I would rock that jumpsuit.” So we felt pretty strong and confident.: I felt confident in what I knew we liked.

He said: “Louis Vuitton copies my shit.” What did it feel like to hear him admit that?Advertisement: Yeah, and in that moment it just made me feel sort of bonded to him. I was like, you are my person.
I mean, Virgil is a designer who came up through streetwear, designed streetwear clothes. So in that context, it definitely sounds destructive.: That’s the thing. There are all these young designers that are finding a way to make their own things happen, and it’s just irresponsible.
