- Yo Cosmo, this is Audrey Nuna here,
and today I'm doing an interview I'm super stoked about.
I'm gonna be interviewing myself.
- Hey, what's up?
It's been a long time, how you been?
You look good.
- You know I try.
Who or what got you into fashion?
- So as you know, my dad is in clothing manufacturing.
I remember being super young, just going in with him
on Saturdays and dressing up mannequins with little fabrics
and that was just so fun for me.
I never thought I would do fashion as part of my career.
My mom would always tell me
that I dressed really weird as a kid.
So I think that kinda low-key discouraged me.
I was like, "Oh, okay, I'm corny I guess."
But as I just kept wearing the shit that I wanted to wear
then all of a sudden people were just like,
"Oh, I love your style.
I love your fashion."
Like, oh, interesting.
So some people I guess, do (beep) with it,
but just my mom didn't think I was cool.
- You were corny though.
Don't you forget.
(Audrey laughing)
What was the last movie you watched?
- Last movie I watched was "Willie Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory," the Johnny Depp one.
And it blew my mind,
cause I think when you're a kid, seeing crazy shit like that
it does not phase you, cause you're already crazy
and your mind hasn't been tainted.
When I saw it as an adult, I was actually like,
"Yo, Tim Burton is on some other shit."
Like I didn't realize he has the mind of a child
inside of a human adult body.
Just so fire.
- The scene with the chocolate river is one of my favorites
as well as the squirrel scene, Veruca Salt.
That shit always grosses me out, but it's very fire.
What is your favorite flavor of Doritos?
There's been a lot of rumors about that.
- My favorite flavor, personally, is sweet and spicy,
spicy and sweet.
I don't know what it's called, but I love that.
I don't know about you,
but I've never (beep) with cool ranch.
- I actually don't like cool ranch either.
But I do think that the speckles, if you look really close,
have you ever looked really close?
It looks really cool.
Like the colors are really nice.
I might make like a sock
or something that models after that.
Someone asked me to ask you what you like to sing
in the shower.
It was an anonymous question that came in this morning.
I actually take silent showers for the most part.
Cause I like to think in the shower.
I feel like it's the only time
when you're literally all alone,
no one can ask you for anything.
If I do happen to sing, I'll sing musical theater, weirdly.
- Interesting. I also love crying in the shower.
Have you ever done that?
Like, how you can't tell the tears are falling down
cause you're in the shower.
So you're like, "Yo, am I crying right now?
I can't even tell."
That shit's fire so you should try that.
Who is your favorite designer, as of late?
I have a lot.
Hyein Seo.
I'm not even sure if I'm saying her name correctly
but it's Hyein Ho or Hyein Hail.
She's super fire and she just happens
to be a Korean designer.
IISE Seoul, Carnet Archive.
A lot of the times just randomly happens
to be Korean-American designers.
Like I'll like a brand and then I'll look it up and realize
that it's coming from Seoul, which is really sick.
Visual artists I love,
huge fan of Hype Williams.
All the early Missy Elliott shit he did.
All the Busta Rhymes stuff he's done
has been super inspiring to me.
Who else?
John Yuyi, she does really interesting temporary tattoo art.
- Yeah, I actually saw her first exhibit
in the city when I was going to NYU for a year.
She's really great.
Are you an innie or an outie?
I've heard some things
but we just want to know for sure, from you.
- I am a proud innie. What about you?
- I'm also an innie. Weird.
Where would you like to go this year?
- My top places this year
is definitely wanna go back to Seoul.
- You mean Seoul.
- Seoul. My mom would kill me for saying "soul".
Seoul and Kyoto. I've heard it's really fire.
I've never been to Japan, which is crazy
cause I love Japanese culture
and I love Miyazaki and Nara and all those artists
I have to go there and see some of that stuff
like in person, would be really sick.
- What was the best meal you've had in recent memory?
- I love food so much and I have a friend, Peter,
we recently went with my sister
to this place called, I think it's Llamasan.
This place was a Japanese-Peruvian cuisine.
There was a scallop ceviche I tried,
which with like leche, was insane.
Aged duck sushi which sounds disgusting actually
now that I say it
but it was so good, with a banana on top of it.
I just love when people combine flavors
that don't belong together in general,
like across all art disciplines.
I think that's the goal, is to just put shit together
that does not make any sense
but still, for whatever reason, is amazing.
- I hundred percent agree.
I can't believe, also, you guys didn't invite me to that.
That's really (beep) up.
What's your favorite tattoo that you have?
- My favorite tattoo that I have is the tooth.
I am weirdly obsessed with teeth.
I don't know.
I've always liked teeth
and think they're just the craziest mind blowing invention
of just bones sticking outta your face
that are always there.
And I also like getting tattoos
that don't really mean anything.
I don't know.
I think there's something really cool
and beautiful about that.
- So someone told me to ask you,
"What is the best part of having fans?"
- Do I have fans?
- If you have any.
- I think it's just sick that people respond to the music.
It makes your day different or it affects you.
I think that's like a cool concept.
Someone once told me that they kept their hair natural,
like dark, cause they were listening to my music
and just enjoyed the fact that I didn't try to change
the color of my hair or anything.
I think that's cool when you inspire people
to do some different shit than they would normally do.
Thank you.
Shout out to myself for such a good time.
- You are so very welcome.
- Peace. - Bye
- Bye.
