“I just got these pants while I was in Paris. These are the Louis Vuitton and Tyler the Creator collab. I'm a big Tyler the Creator fan, so I was like, ‘yeah i gotta cop that’. Shoes (are) Y3, these are probably like my go to basic white shoes, I'm always wearing them. I actually just had to clean them because they were dirty because I wore them for so long.”
