I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit.

I love the fact that fashion always changes, and I hate the fact that it always changes.

I think you have to be in the right place at the right time. And understand that and know when it is your time and how you react to it and how you respond to it.

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.

I just love the way the '60s rock stars put themselves together, because they were like dandies and peacocks. They really lived out their fantasies - and dressed their fantasies.

I love punk, I love a lot of British Invasion bands, I love garage bands.

I think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere.
