Ahead of the release of CassHirst's collaboration with Prada, Cass x Prada, we caught up with the young artist for a chat about skateboarding, working at Tesco, and his dad’s Prada collection.
. Now, at 22 years old, Hirst’s self-described “chaotic” creations are sitting pretty inside of Prada stores. What started out as a clever birthday gift for his father Damien—Hirst painted his first pair of sneakers when he was 14—later evolved into a DIY cottage industry with a cult following that includes Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and the late Virgil Abloh.
INTERVIEW: The first shoe that you painted was a gift for your dad. Now, you have a whole wall at Prada of shoes. How does that feel? HIRST: It’s super important, because otherwise these iconic things can die. There are definitely people who don’t believe in reimagining those pieces. They’re like, “You can’t touch that, because it will ruin its timeless value.” This shoe is older than me, so it was exciting to put a new spin on it and punch it up again.HIRST: It’s a study on colors and shapes. I tried to accentuate everything the shoe already has.
