I didn't understand anything about fashion until I moved to Canada when I was 9. That's when I learned English and was exposed to fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.

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 hope being gay isn't the most interesting thing about me.

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

Designers have always shown outlandish and exuberant clothes, but that hasnt always translated to the streets.

when I moved to Canada in '93, I started reading fashion magazines, and that's where I spotted the M.A.C ad that RuPaul were in. That's sort of how I first "met" you - in the red bodysuit. That was so iconic to me.

I worked 10 years as a toy designer before I started my career as a fashion designer. It's something I just fell into and really liked.
