Opening up in an extensive interview with WWD during his brief visit to New York City's Fashion's Night Out festivities, Justin Bieber touched on a full slate of topics ranging from style and Usher and Kanye West being his fashion role models to his mother's influence and desire to be a young father.
As for whether or not the "Baby" hitmaker has plans to enter to fashion foray, he dished, "Definitely, I want to eventually start a clothing line or a shoe line, something like that. But nothing is in the works right now. I’m just focusing on my music now."
When asked if there's anyone out there who dresses in a manner that he admires, the 17-year-old repled, "Yeah, Kanye West. Usher’s real cool. He knows way more about fashion than I do. I’m learning from him. He helps me put stuff together and find different designers who I’ve never heard of. I just got a pair of Fendi sunglasses. I’d never heard of them before. I like Louis [as in Vuitton]. I started wearing their belts and stuff, which I really like [lifting his jacket to reveal an “LV” belt buckle]."
Changing topics to the subject of his single parent mother and her influence on his life, Bieber told, "She always pushed me to be the best that I can be. But she never pushed anything on me. She always let me do what I wanted to do. She let me follow my dreams. She never held me back."
Also asked about the other lady in his life, Selena Gomez, Justin said, "She’s amazing. She’s my girlfriend right now."
Sounding as if he's anxious to take a relationship to the next level by starting a family, Bieber's response to a final question about where he sees himself five years from now included marriage and children.
He told, "Well, by 25 or 26, I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family. I want to be a young dad. I want to be able to have done what I wanted to do — to be successful, to do a movie or whatever. But if the time is right, I definitely want to be married by 25."
