As my own boss, I have the opportunity to get to work with great brands, like Old Navy, and I get to style some looks together that people can actually buy and afford.

I'm lucky to get to do the job that I do. I'm really lucky to be able to work in so many different areas of this industry.

I think being partnered with C. Wonder as their creative director and also getting to kind of educate her on how to mix prints and how to incorporate color into her wardrobe and how to go from an easy silhouette to using some of our accessories to cinch her waist or make it more cocktail - I think will be really, really fun.

I've always really been interested in getting to work with QVC because I love teaching people about fashion and I love seeing people get excited by what they're wearing.

Color-blocking two bold shades feels so modern.

I don't think that on a daily basis, people need to be so concerned with others think. When someone comes forward and is an individual, such as a Lady Gaga or a Katy Perry, people respond to them because there is that sense of innocence. It's obviously dress up and theatre. I never lost that I think part of that is growing up gay and part is growing up overweight. You never lose that, and I never want to lose touch with that whimsy, that sense of innocence. I also love the reaction it elicits in people. I like that it makes other people happy.

Trends in fashion, design and pop culture are taking on more global influence, and of course, one thing that's always in style is color.
