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

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

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 think what I create is serious fashion, but I don't want to keep my focus on that. You have to look at a lot of different things. I mean, people are always surprised when they find out that my favorite show is RuPaul's Drag Race.

My parents are very comfortable with the way that I am, and I think they've always been. Without that, I don't think that I would have ever have been able to grow into the person that I am today. I never felt like I was hiding anything from them.

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.

I miss All Stars, by the way. I was just telling people: how am I going to get by until January?
