Fans don't lie. They just tell you what they really think, and they see details that even people in fashion don't.

I love meeting people, and I know it's so difficult for people to come up to me and introduce themselves, so when they do, I'll grab them and hug them. It makes their day, you know? I love that, and I get positive energy from that.

I'm not a designer, I'm a creator.

I'm not an elitist. I hate the fashion industry sometimes because it becomes so focused on the elite.
