You’ve had a fascinating journey, teaching yourself English and taking bold risks with your art and brand. Can you share some moments when you just knew, deep down, that you were on the right path?
I had a dream that eating so much golden color shits when i decided to be an artist
«Me Love Me Alot» is such a powerful phrase, evoking a sense of self-love that’s almost poetic. Could you tell us more about what it means to you and how it originated?
Think about who can love u more then your self. You are with you forever till u die.
Let’s talk about your latest exhibition! What does this project mean to you, and what message do you hope to convey to your audience?
I wanted to see them self through me, and wanted to invite them to my universe to experience my vibe
Could you dive into one specific piece from your collection and share the creative process behind it?
Hairy purse : I found the chromehearts hairy purse image from Pinterest and photoshopped it to look fucked up and made it in real
What are you dreaming of doing next? You’ve already made waves in art, fashion, and music, and we’re excited to see what comes next!
I wanna make my cat poop in the toilet cuz i am a cat master
If Skoot were a character in an anime, what kind of adventures would it go on?
Luffy from One Piece: Skoot feels like that when the team prepares a collection—always a strange adventure.
What’s the wildest piece of fan art or custom creation inspired by Skoot that you’ve seen so far?
Definitely grillz or tattoos. We’ve seen Skoot logo grillz and tattoos on people, especially during COVID when people were extra bored.
How do you want people to feel when they wear Skoot—like they’re in a club or just chilling on the couch?
We like comfort. You can wear Skoot while relaxing at home and then go straight to the club.
If you could collaborate with any anime or manga artist, past or present, who would be at the top of your list?
Pokémon, Evangelion, Gundam.
Skoot is all about bold statements—what’s one trend you’d love to see completely disappear from fashion?
Rather than disappear, I hope more new ugly and interesting things emerge. Skoot has found its most success with loud and ugly pieces.
Do you think there’s a specific playlist or music genre that matches the vibe of your collections?
Any playlist that includes Rema’s ”AZAMAN.”
Can you share the most unexpected source of inspiration behind one of your recent designs?
The biggest inspiration was when MLMA’s mom designed custom knit hats and then hand-sewed them for our recent collection.
What would Skoot’s superhero alter ego look like, and what fashion superpower would it have?
It will look like a friendly opium bird Timothée Chalamet that hugs everything and turns all things it touches into Skoot’s aesthetic.
