Nature vs. nurture? It’s tough to say when you’re DNA is this crispy. And as a young’n you kicked it in Pari. Your kid probably geeks out over trivial shit like butterflies, or clouds, or glitter. My kid gets wide eyed when we discuss the merits of white jeans in winter, monochromatic palettes, and well worn DB’s in exclusive colorways.
We took him out of school 2 years ago so he could blog full time. His diffusion line for Heelys hits Target next month, apparently it’s Jil inspired - I’ve only seen the sketches. You probably heard him at SXSW, moderating a panel with Lil Gevi and that dude who writes Mad Men’s son, talking about the merits of social media and musing on what it means to inspire a generation of designers who made names for themselves before any of these Rugrats were even born.
They say rents live vicariously through their seed - I’d have to agree. I tweet vicariously through him because he has more followers than me. While you’re in a Town & Country stuck in traffic taking your worthless brat to soccer, I’m speeding in a Hummer limo with my kin and Uncle Karl popping bottles, making our way to the front row. This really shouldn’t come as a shock. I mean, he was conceived In Brunello’s booth at Pitti Uomo.
My meal ticket. My only son. The truth. The future. My legacy. Steezus Christ. My only son.
