"    Photo: Courtesy of Guess   Miami and nightlife go together as well as Guess and Ti\u00EBsto. The renowned DJ, whose clothing line for the club-chic retailer launched this past summer, rolled in during the party-fueled Art Basel Miami week on Saturday evening to show off his threads and his chops with a special in-store showdown. While the crowds lined up around the block, ELLE.com grabbed a few minutes with the man who spends more than 265 days a year on the road and still manages to design a complete collection.   ELLE: How did you become interested in fashion? Ti\u00EBsto: At first, I was only interested in music, but I spent so much time in the clubs and seeing fashions change. So naturally, I developed an interest in it. ELLE: How do you feel designing for Guess? Ti\u00EBsto: I love it. Growing up, Guess always had these amazing billboards and cool affordable clothing. I wore it then, and I still wear it now! It&amp;#039;s come full-circle. When I design the clothes, I have a very good team around me, showing me different pieces and cuts. I&amp;#039;m very involved in the process, I go to L.A. and get onto the design floor, and I help pick out the best pieces. ELLE: What do you like to wear onstage? Ti\u00EBsto: I love suits, but onstage it&amp;#039;s too hot. So, I like a nice T-shirt! ELLE: Can DJs be fashion icons? Ti\u00EBsto: Yes, totally! I think I am example for our scene, so I have to be an example for the rest. ELLE: How would you describe your personal style? Ti\u00EBsto: It&amp;#039;s simple, classic, with a little touch of flair here and there. ELLE: When you were designing the collection, were you inspired by certain songs or tracks? Ti\u00EBsto: No, actually! But the style is very much influenced by the club. ELLE: What are you listening to nowadays? Ti\u00EBsto: I listen to all kinds of music, but I really like deep house at the moment, like what Stacy Dubs is playing. ELLE: Have you discovered any new artists that you&amp;#039;re super excited about? Ti\u00EBsto: Actually, there&amp;#039;s a new kid from Holland, Alvaro, who is going to be one to watch out for.
