Kai Cenat‘s certainly enjoying R&R after stepping away from streaming … but, he’s not just sitting around and wasting his time off — telling us he’s loving his foray into fashion.

We caught up with the star at LAX Thursday … and we asked him about his recent decision to step away from Twitch to work on his stitch — which he says is going well enough that he’s already made a few pieces.

KC says he’s sewn a couple hoodies, and he’s looking to graduate to denim next … but, he admits he’s still a beginner — so don’t expect a Kai catalogue in the immediate future.

Cenat says prospective fashion designers need to work on their craft every day … which is part of the reason he stepped away from streaming. This is Cenat’s next career move, he says — and he’s giving it 100%.

Kai also gives us the name of his fashion mentor … watch the clip all the way through to hear who has imparted the best advice to him.

ICYMI … Cenat set the internet ablaze by putting out a video titled “I Quit” — a message many took to mean he was getting out of streaming altogether.

Cenat later clarified that he only needed to take a step back to work on his other creative pursuits … though, given his passion for fashion, it wouldn’t surprise us if he extends this hiatus into the long-term future.
