The At Your Service collection launches November 3 at Converse.com and at select retail partners.
What is your ideal office?
A phone-shaped portal in the middle of chaos. I don’t need peace; I need access.
What do you love the most about yourself?
I love that I can shapeshift without disappearing.
What word is overrated in your industry right now?
“Authentic.” Real things usually don’t need to announce themselves.
What was the last thing that really got under your skin?
The casual use of violent imagery as pure aesthetics. At this moment in history, I think we need to be more careful about what we bring on stage, and why.
How did your first “I love you” go?
With years of therapy afterward.
What kind of cult would you want to start?
Not a cult of conformity. More like brilliant minds in old literary cafés: discipline, depth, disagreement, and ideas magnetic enough to attract people on their own.
Is vulnerability seductive?
Yes, when it feels like a door opening.
What historical figure do you wish you could do a photoshoot for?
Hypatia of Alexandria, with an erotocomatose twist.
What trend should we bury?
Ghosting. Disappearing can be an art form, but doing it badly is just poor taste.
What’s your love language?
My love language is quiet attention. I give people space, notice the little things, and appear at the right moment with something useful or cat reels.
How do you feel about eye contact?
Eye contact is a spell, but I don’t cast it casually.
What rule are you always breaking?
The rule of protecting your downtime. I believe in it, theoretically.
What’s something you love that other people hate?
Weaponizing kindness until my opponent gets tired.
What would your aesthetic smell like?
Like liturgical incense in a server room.
What is your ideal office?
A place where I can get things done super quickly and then take a nap on the couch. I don't really like to socialize too much when I am in a work mood, so I prefer a private office that feels like a home away from home, because that's what it is! I think it's also ideal to have an office in a neighborhood you like, but that isn't the same neighborhood you live in. I like to commute to work in a different borough. It makes me feel like I'm actually living and working in NYC, not just living and working in Park Slope, for example.
What’s your hottest take on love?
It's not as complicated as people make it out to be. Love is easy!
What's the most overrated word in your industry right now?
Authentic… or Micro Dramas.
What’s something you’ll never understand the hype around?
I know a lot has been said about lines, but I genuinely will not wait in line for anything. I think that no coffee, pastry, slice of pizza, bagel, or taco is worth the line.
What’s your most confident but least informed opinion?
That all movies should be 90 minutes.
Why is it important to be opinionated?
It's not!
What's your love language?
I think it's the acts of service one?
Do you have any beliefs that are entirely irrational?
I guess I believe in God, which many people find to be irrational.
What do you love most about yourself?
That I'm not afraid of failure or being cringe. I just go for it. If I want to do something, I will do it by any means necessary.
What’s the best thing about the subway?
It's cheap, convenient, and easy to use.
What's the worst thing about the subway?
Just that if something goes wrong, for example, the train is late, then all of a sudden it has a domino effect on your life... but realistically, that could happen with any mode of transportation.
What's the craziest thing love has made you do?
Have a kid.
Do you have a favorite TV show theme song?
Obviously, Friends.
How did your first "I love you" go?
It went well, but then she cheated on me a week later. But the "I love you" part was a big hit!
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
I do something for the first time all of the time. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to the places I eat and drink, but when it comes to like… living… I'm always trying to do something new. I went to Ireland recently for the first time, and it was one of my favorite places I've ever visited.
What’s something you’ve done that you’re afraid to admit?
Well, this is a silly question because I would never admit it.
What is your ideal office?
Truly, I hate working even for 3-4 hrs a day, and doing important stuff in general.
What’s the coolest item you have in your store right now?
My customers are probably the coolest. Simply can't go wrong and still have a lot of life left in them!
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen on Canal St.?
There is this 3rd floor window that says "WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM VINTAGE." I felt seriously so weirded out!!
It’s the year of the horse. What are you running toward?
With my virile long hair interlacing entrancingly in the wind, I am galloping from wall to wall in circles within the great Ouroboros.
What are you running away from?
I am afraid of mannequins.
If Charlot Abhors A Void was a person, what would be their toxic trait?
Possibly something like this:
Charlot Abhors A Void @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Def
Impish Nature
- Baneful Bunker
- Strength Sap
- Encore
- Salt Cure
What’s something you’ve done that you’re afraid to admit?
I pioneered a 2 elf-warrior 1 human-priest build that prioritized range and consistent damage so that it could engage on turn 2 most games, and reached #1 (by p far) on the Card Hunter ladder in 2015...
What word is overrated in your industry right now?
Honestly haven't heard that many words across my years in the industry... maybe "calltime"? Also dislike "mogged.”
What’s your holy grail accessory?
My sword pendant (large)!!! By Ugo Cacciatori. I'm pretty sure I could locate it if I went back, but I forgot the name of the place that it fell in. The one who finds it will be granted a timeless, versatile accessory with high-rolled stats optimized for compliment farming.
Silver or gold?
Imo both at once, but also they're too expensive right now and not worth it.
What rule do you live by?
If it's just one, then the 3s Rule has been the abiding guiding principle across my years on earth.
What rule are you always breaking?
Definitely "don't take any wooden nickels." I am a wooden nickel collector and would encourage others to collect as soon as possible as well. Please invest wholeheartedly!
What’s the worst thing about the modern dating world?
I've dated for +- 45mins total my whole life, but if I'd have to guess, it'd be the doom within our current technofascist world configuration. It's hard to build towards something on a micro scale when the macro scale is organized oppositely.
Do you know your MBTI personality?
E/INFJ (50 50 split)!!!
