If you're putting your name on something, it's really important to be a part of it, or else people will just do whatever they want with it. And then it's not really you, and it won't be true.
You go to new places and it opens your eyes to different things you haven't seen before. Everything from colors, to silhouettes, to patterns - it just comes from everywhere.
I've always been open to doing reality again. Just under certain circumstances.
I'm sure a lot of people don't take me seriously.
I think that makeup can be challenging, especially when you are younger.
I have fashion designers that I definitely respect. After working for a few years in the industry, you want to branch out and do your own thing and I think that's something that has always been important to me is strengthening the brand and just sticking to "this is who we are, this is our identity, this is who we're going to be". I definitely respect other designers but I don't necessarily have one that I look up to.
I think it's definitely important to look like yourself on a date. You don't want to look like someone else with too much makeup or too much hair.
When you're growing up, you play dress-up - it's a game, it's a pastime. And then as you get older, getting ready and looking nice becomes this constant stress. I want to make it fun again.
It's a good thing to feel like you have to prove something
One thing you can't miss in your suitcase is a hat.
I think that a lot of times, I trust people I shouldn't, and it turns out right, and it makes me feel a little better about it.
A lot of my branding has come from stubbornness - I knew what I liked. I knew what I wanted to do.
There's always someone out there telling you your nose is too big or too small, or you're too fat or too thin, or they don't like your hair. In life, there's always going to be someone who doesn't like something about you, so you have to focus on what makes you happy about yourself. You're the only person you need to please.
The nice thing about the fashion industry is that you're constantly working on something new.
