I watched the show through virtual reality glasses. How did it go from your perspective?

It was tight. I liked it a lot. It went well, everyone liked it. Overall, I wasn't nervous, but with anything that anyone does that's brand new, or foreign to them, there's always that feeling of Oh shit, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I knew it was gonna be sick regardless, even if you hate the clothes or love the clothes, the effort that I put into it was undeniable. Nobody would be able to say I didn't kill it when it came to the effort.

The set was like a colorful, completely realized universe.

I was just inviting people to my world. Most fashion shows just happen in a weird little room and people just sit in a very calculated way to make a technical runway and people just walk back and forth. And that's it. I just didn't want to look like the other guys. I've never been to one, I just looked it up. I just noticed they were all the same thing — except Chanel's has cool set designs. I give Chanel props, and the last Louis Vuitton cruise [show]. But other than that they're pretty boring.

Were there any unexpected hurdles, anything you didn't anticipate?

Everything went well, except when I came out on my dirt bike, it died when I got to the front. And if you re-watch the video you can see I just got off it because it just stopped going.

Did you rehearse a lot leading up to the show?

We rehearsed like three times on Thursday, three or four times. With the walks and stuff, and then Friday I went to Tennessee [for Bonnaroo]. Then Saturday morning we did one run-through and that was it.
