![Five hours before the opening ceremony of the Cannes International Film Festival and the premiere of his film "The Dead Don't Die" Luka Sabbat was desperately seeking a suit.
The star spoke to us about the film, his style inspiration, and who he considers a mentor.
"Virgil [Abloh] is one of my mentors; I’ve known him for eons and he’s definitely one of the most inspirational people right now. I always knew he was going to be huge, but I’m also excited for where he’s going. I don’t think he has limits right now, he’s the first of his kind.
