Ken Carson on his love of design, making his own rules, and what it takes to be a successful artist.

I don’t really get the whole “aesthetic” word. Because it’s like I’m being me and then you just label it, you got something to call it. So I don’t really think too much deep into it either. It’s just me picking out what I want to wear. If I wear red today, that’s a whole other “aesthetic.”  It’s not all one thing—if you track what I’m saying—I can wear all black one day. I can have gray one day but it’s not going to all fall under the same “aesthetic.” 

I don’t know if I wanted to be famous. I know I wanted to make me some money though! I just wanted to go wherever I was going to make the millions! [laughs]. If I didn’t have to be famous and they were like, “oh yeah, you’re still going to make money like this,” I would’ve went that way. But I feel like this route was the way for me.
