I'm not giving up on my work. I'm still trying to challenge people's aesthetics and myself.

Fashion now is just so confusing. It doesn't feel as easy. Fashion seems to be in a much more eclectic place.

All hair is away from the face - there's no emotion and all of the personality is taken away. I envisioned the way a 'virtual girl' is drawn in a cartoon. Then I added these different colored extensions - white, red and black, which adds to the synthetic feeling of the hair. I used colors which looked most dramatic against each of the models' real hair. The different colors give you that pop of fakeness so we're not talking about reality. Like a futuristic princess.

I celebrate every culture. I love the mix of cultures and I'm never going to change that because that's inspiring to me.

When I think of the people I've worked with, all of them have great passion, and the passion is what keeps people inspired.

I have a total complex [because of my curls], though, because I got teased a lot as a kid.

Beauty shouldn't be taken too seriously. Life is stressful enough! Hair should be creative and crazy.
