“Growing up, I always had an appreciation of fashion. I just never had the access to it. Any special purchases required months of saving from my video-store job. When I got my first big job as a VJ at MTV, I went a little off the rails with our clothing allowance (one of the best perks a job can offer). I took a trip to New York City to celebrate and told myself that I would buy something special. I walked into the Rick Owens store and tried on a leather jacket that fit me like a glove. The only holdup was the price. It was heart stopping—I had to take a lunch break to think about it.
I couldn’t afford it, but there was something about the way it fit and the way it made me feel that compelled me to eventually swipe my credit card and pay it off over several months. I still wear it to this day! In fact, it means so much to me that I chose to wear it in the very first episode of Schitt’s Creek. I always find my most irrational fashion decisions are the ones I’m most proud of later.”
One of the benefits of getting to really know yourself and being yourself, is being able to choose things that are truly right and meaningful for you. Not trying to copy someone else, or be someone else- those things never fit quite right. But when you know yourself, it fits like a glove. (Even if it seems irrational to other people!)
