Q: Where does the story of this jacket begin?
A: Honestly, my brother — Nyles Jones, also known as Liér. Without him, there wouldn’t even be Anone. He’s not just a friend, he’s family. Someone who truly means the world to me.

Q: What inspired the design?
A: At first, it was just me doing what I always do — creating. I run a 3D design and creative agency, and I was posting a lot of portfolio work. One idea I had was to make a 3D logo with diamonds, and turn it into a zipper design on some random jacket.

Q: Why use Liér’s logo?
A: I’ve always been jealous of his logo — but in a good way. He knows it. I love his logo, it’s literally perfect. That’s why I wanted to bring it into the design.

Q: How did the actual jacket come to life?
A: I realized I already had a black jacket I designed, so instead of looking for another one, I thought, why not use mine? I turned it pink, which is one of my favorite colors, and the Liér logo with pink diamonds just worked so well on it. That’s when everything clicked.

Q: How did Nyles react when he saw it?
A: I FaceTimed him, showed him the jacket, and he loved it instantly. That became my first post introducing Anone. He even told me to co-post it on his page, so more people could see it and give it the attention it deserved.

Q: What does this collaboration mean to you?
A: Anone = Liér. That’s the truth. If I ever leave this world, I’d want Liér to continue my legacy. That’s how much he means to me. I love you, brother.
