It doesn't matter if it's raining and dark. The sun is shining above the clouds.

Every day has its own challenges, and every day those challenges make us stronger.

New York accepts everybody. It doesn't matter your sex, color, religion. Everybody works together to create a better life.

It's not about the outside, it's the inside. But dressing on the outside can help the inside.

Creativity to me is the life force that is in us. It’s an animalistic instinct for survival.

I got involved in fashion by accident. When I got to New York, my intention was to have enough money to eat and to stay and I don't have to leave. I just loved New York - the energy, the culture, the freedom.

Don't bring me problems. Bring me solutions.
