These are clothes my friends and I could wear. This ain't Prada. I don't want to be one of those celebrities that slaps their name on a label and collects royalty checks. Everything on that runway reflects me.

I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.

My fashion philosophy is that if I like it, I wear it.

I always wanted to be a teacher.

I got in trouble in Catholic school for rolling the waist of my skirt down.

Fashion is what you buy, style is what you do with it

Don't be afraid to take chances. The biggest risk is not taking any risk.
