I took Instagram off my phone! I took it off because I found I was looking at it too much.

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

I worked at a bunch of salons, and at one, a girl was going out to do a photo shoot for a women's magazine and brought me along to assist her. I remember going on that shoot and thinking, "God, this is great. It's creative, and you get to work with all of these other creative people." At that point I decided that hair would be my in to fashion and all the things I thought I would enjoy - and did enjoy.

I think it's more funny how every bit of information is up for grabs.

Fashion was a very insider industry then - it was very closed. So I didn't really know what I wanted to do.

Every culture to me - be it Asian, African, be it whatever - is a source of reference. I don't think I'm 'stealing' it or anything.

Everyone has an opinion and I think we're at a time which is very heated all over the world, so of course people will speak out. And they have every right to.
