I believe your atmosphere and your surroundings create a mind state for you.
Theophilus London
Shopping at any level is a bit of therapy for my medulla oblongata.
Gold looks good on my skin, and gold looks good on black people, I think.
I started getting emails from Anna Wintour inviting me to her dinners. It was just surreal.
The Gap has always been an iconic, go-to brand that reminds me of my childhood.
You should treat your body like a canvas.
The Royal Family doesn't go out shopping for their uniforms: they've got some guy sewing on all the ornaments in-house. You could say I've got my own in-house team as well.
I like to keep a uniform - wear a blazer, try to keep the same colour pants; very tailored, very fitted but still edgy.
What I sell is the higher knowledge of knowing what's next and not following the trend of what's now.
I love N.Y.C.! I can't think of any individual that hates New York.
I wore my same look for six years. My hat and glasses - people recognize me now.
The Internet is a very powerful tool; unfortunately it's starting to get a little saturated.
I didn't grow up drawing runway models and deciding what they should wear.
I went to school for marketing for one year before I dropped out of college to make music.
The second album is the hardest to write. It's nothing like the first album.
I don't want no mail. Send me a Facebook message.
I like Jeremy Scott, and he has some really dope sneakers.
Brooklyn, where I grew up, is a competitive burg - there's always a pretty boy around the corner there, and you gotta look better than him.
I own over ninety-five different hats and, over the years, have lost or given away 120 hats. You gain to lose... you lose to gain.
I started performing music about the age of 16. I lived in Brooklyn, New York, and this thing called the Flatbush Fair comes once a year. That was my first time on stage.
Shout-out to my dad - he influenced my style when I was 17.
Mixtapes are very personal, and they describe who you are better than an album sometimes.
I am more into guys' fashion, but I'm inspired by women's fashion in a weird way.
I have a personal barber, Mister C. He lives in Brooklyn, but he travels with me. He used to cut Lady Gaga's hair, but he fired her to work for me.
I find it soothing, the thought of a movie theater.
Brooklyn for twenty years, I've learned that there is always someone better than you at what you do.
I always imagined how cool it would be to be the face of a Gap campaign!
Colby Jordan is one of the most fashion-forward and passionate girls I know. She gives me these young Anna Wintour vibes when I'm around her!
Some people thought Theophilus was a fake name. Whatever.
When I say 'rare,' it's my own term. It's like you're doing something with a photo that is dominant that no one has ever seen before. #Rare means that it can only be seen here. It's just a rare moment that I'm sharing with the world.
You gotta learn your body, how clothes fit on you.
Thirty-five percent of all my dates were at the movies from 2013 to 2014.
I'm not really good at skiing or snowboarding, or swimming, per se.
I want to produce the best popular music I can.
I've got to get my real skills up; like, I got to get my skills up, 'cause in case of a crazy catastrophe, I might have to learn how to swim.
I went to Brazil in 2010 and pretty much did songs about that trip. I was there just to hang out, chill with the people, and feel the vibe. It was great - tons of great women, great skin, good beaches. Can't complain; the food is great.
In high school, I always dressed to impress the girls.
I went to Texas a few times for gigs and adopted the cowboy look. Every man, at some point in his life, goes through a cowboy stage - everyone! Well, at least everyone that I look up to!
I think it's more interesting to play a place where no one really knows you, but I think touring is also great.
Creating the album 'VIBES' has been the biggest life lesson I have ever learned.
When I was younger, I wasn't thinking about fit. Clothes are measured just for me now. I know that's not what the average person does, but I've gotten smart about what fits my body the right way and what makes me feel comfortable.
I like vintage shopping, but I also like to mix in high-end.
To wake up in the morning and just know what I'm going to wear, it helps me get out of the house faster.
I want to wear something that's not perfectly matching; there has to be something unorthodox about it. I want to create this mystery.
I like to revamp things; like, I make to make things better in my eye, but I don't put out own lines... I just collab with my favorite brands.
I need to travel, of course, with my laptop, so I can do my business on the road.
To me, my style is comfortable.
I like to go to the airport looking stylish - you never know who you'll run into. Sometimes I have fans at the airports. I never want to be bummy looking.
I collect different game hats, like Syracuse Women's Volleyball; I have a Navy Basketball hat. They're all vintage but in new condition.
I moved my studio to Palm Springs 'cause I don't like the idea of going to a studio every day like a job... I need to make a personal record, so I need to be in a house... I don't want to be in a studio where people can hear the music 'cause I don't know what it is yet.
