I always think of it you know building a business, building a brand, a friend of mine gave me a metaphor for it which I think is really true it's like building coral, you don't see it happening it's just little little little and when you step back you think wow.

The first design I created was a circular skirt for my Barbie when I was 7.

Fashion is about having a point of view, a taste and a personality. For us we always felt we could apply our DNA really to anything but you have to do it if it's true to you, feels authentic. It has to be real.

I don't know if I'm all that famous. When I first started my idea of what a career in fashion would look like is very different to the reality now.

You know, an iPhone is fashion everything is fashion.

Even when I'm writing in character I'm normally still writing about things I know or things that have happened to me or using that character to start an exploration of my own consciousness. Really though, any character that you can examine is just an examination of a part of your own consciousness.

There are a lot of things about my career now that are as I imagined, hoped for and worked towards.
