Interview

What has been your inspiration for the EASTPAK Artist Studio Bag(s)?
The inspiration for the bag comes from an actual tattoo I have on my right shoulder.

Which city do you live in – can you tell us what it’s best kept secret is?
I live in Venice, California. Its best kept secret is a total dive on Washington named Hinano.

When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Eating Bulgarian head cheese at Café Central in Stockholm last week.

Can you name three major things on your ‘bucketlist’ – three things you want to do before you ‘kick the bucket’…
Work for Chanel.
Smoke with my President.
Never die.

The proceeds from the sales of your bag will go entirely to Designers Against AIDS – What are your views on safe sex? Do you personally think it’s still important?
When you decide to not use a condom, you are risking your own life. We all have lost too many friends to Aids to be that irrational.
