I love a little bit of glamour and I love tall girls.

I am an Asian designer. I was born in Taiwan. That is who I am. But I am a designer, like any designer of any race. Growing up in the '80s in Taiwan, the arts were not considered a career.

My cats are really sassy and sophisticated, but most importantly, they are picky.

I had a hard time in middle school. I was never really quite me until I was 16 or 17, and things like bullying didn't matter anymore.

As a designer you have to just do whatever you want to do. The second I came to terms with that, it transformed my work.

I love a little bit of glamour and I love tall girls.

I love the romance of Paris. I love Angelina [tearoom and pastry shop]. I always get a Mont-blanc [pastry] there.
