You’re on the brink of gifting the masses with creative accessories from your ADEEN line, tell us about it.
I’m the Creative Director of Adeen. The brand is inspired by all the things I love from my childhood, like cartoons. It’s about having fun, not taking yourself too seriously, and wearing things because you like the way you feel in them.
What about your personal style?
Every day, when I walk out of the house, I dress as if I am going to be drawn. If the clothes look cool when drawn out, I’m going to look cool. My style is cartoon chic.
The animated world seems to inspire not only what you wear, but also what you’ve created for your collection.
Right. My style inspiration comes from video games. Like, characters I’ve played or anime characters I’ve seen. They always have skinny legs and big shoes, the tops they wear are kind of draped over and fit in all the right places.
Which cartoons provide you with the most inspiration?
My biggest ones are Conan Edogawa from Case Closed, Captain Commando, Hayato…
Where do you shop to find clothing to connect anime style to the real world?
I shop pretty much everywhere like Ralph Lauren/Rugby, vintage stores [like] No Relation in the East Village, Village Style on 7th, Beacon’s Closet, and random ones here and there like Search and Destroy on St. Marks. I don’t discriminate, I just shop.
What are you shopping for this season?
Every single pair of Diet Butcher [Slim Skin Sneakers] ever made! They’re like every anime geek’s dream come true – really big and bulky, but design oriented. If I could design shoes, they’d look like that.
Excuse us while we go out and grab a pair! What kind of kicks do you already own?
Diet Butcher Slim Skin, Jordans, Dior, and Common Projects sneakers.
Where do you show off your fly kicks?
I go to parties in Brooklyn a lot, hang in the East Village, or Union Square in the summer. I don’t really like restaurants [but I do go to] Kennedy Fried Chicken after parties!
Other than your sneakers, what can’t you live without?
My phone…and my Pokemon game.
What would you never want to be drawn wearing?
I’d never be caught in Ed Hardy. I would never wear an all-matching outfit, like, pattern-wise. All plaid everything? Never. Or, low-top sneakers ever in life unless I had to wear it for a uniform. Oh, and never a fedora!
