When you're a teenager with a creative mind, be as creative as possible. I'd rather you go nuts. Having more ideas is always better.

I hate the terminology of "costume" because my clothes are not costumes at all. I think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but I wouldn't say they're costumes, I'd say they're more couture.

We have a lot of different girls on the runway today! All different sizes.

There are still places to go, there are still dinners, there are still parties, and you can still get dressed up. That's part of having fun in fashion.

You can wear whatever, be whatever, do whatever you want.

I am confident and I work so hard to be confident. If I wasn't talented, then I wouldn't be as confident.

When you're an adult designer, you're either running a business or you're helping someone else's business run. Either way, that's a lot of pressure.
