You've had a recent collab with Huf. How did that come about and what does the end product represent to you?
Yeah I met HUF whilst he was in Australia skateboarding years ago, we just connected and when I would go to SF I would stay at his place . He sells our line so it was just something I thought would be a cool thing to do. I love the shirt and its designed by my wife Beci Orpin. Collaborations for me need to be about 1 thing , and that is they need to evolve naturally .
You and your partner also run a women's label 'Princess Tina'. What's the women's market like right now? Do you see streetwear becoming increasingly female orientated? Or do you think it will always be a guy thing (albeit based on a traditionally female fetishisation of fashion)?
Well Princess Tina exist in another crazy little pocket of its own , so different to menswear. Too hard to explain !
Any famous last words? Shout outs?
Don’t do it if you don’t enjoy it …
