I love the fact that Candy Ken is so confident. I’ve known him for a long time, and he has always known who he is and gave no fucks about what other people thought of him. He’s really his own art piece. He’s always pushing gender norms, showing us that we don’t have to fit into any boxes - it’s amazing. Also, his TikTok is funny!

Hunter went from being a student in Ohio to a creative force in fashion and music. He’s gonna get mad at me for this - but I secretly think he’s lying about his age. His extensive knowledge of music and fashion just feels unrealistic for someone in his twenties—a true old soul with a young attitude. Hunter’s ability to combine what he knows with what he observes with his finger on the pulse, to create his own spin on it all is genius.

"Kandai is a Japanese surfer based in California. He really is just a cool guy that surfs everyday who also loves to shoot film on 8mm cameras. But he also has an intense passion and energy that makes him an unforgettable personality and a great model and actor.
