I wouldn’t say I was really into fashion before modelling; I was into creation.

I really believe in keeping your canvas very basic and sort of adding the accouterments from there. I look at creating intrigue with outfits through accessories.

I was a total jock growing up. I went to super-dorky basketball clinics and was handpicked to play on a state team called the Texas Heat.

I want to create a lifestyle niche for that cool girl who's really into fashion but not too obsessed with it.

I like the idea of not looking at trends, not being driven by them. I like what I like and that's it.

I don't think about fashion or trends - I've never really been that kind of person.

Everything really needs to be paraben-free for me. I mean, because if I’m going to smoke cigarettes, then I need to be aware of all the other bullshit I’m putting into my body.
