On fashion
-"I've always had a bit of an individual style, even when I was a kid- for real. I hated school uniforms and all the rules, having to wear a tie and shit. But when I was Sussed out that there were no rules regarding how we wore our school blazers, I would walk around the place with one arm in a sleeve, the other out, with my jacket dangling over a shoulder. But then being so much in the public eye at a young age, I got a but nervous to take many risks. I wasn't so keen to step out my comfort zone or think outside the box on what I was wearing. It was A great moment for me when Donatella Versace invited me to attend the Met Gala with Versace. I'd definitely made a conscious decision in my solo career to take fashion more seriously, starting with attending two shows in 2015 with Louis Vuitton and Valentino.
-"The Met Gala is a big event in the fashion calendar, as it's hosted by Anna Wintour (the editor-in-Chief of Vogue), so I was grateful to be invited. The theme of the 2016 Met Gala was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, which gave me the opportunity to design an outfit with Versace that reflects one of my biggest interests, digital animation. As an vivid fan of video-games super Heroes, I thought I would base it loosely on Mortal Kombat. We arrived in New York the night before the gala, where I was presented with the outfit and fell in love with it immediately. It was a bit of a risk as it was so out there compared to what I'd worn before, but I decided I didn't care and the fact that it raised a few eyebrows was all part of the fun for me."
