When we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event.

People who try to be something they are not, the most attractive thing to me are people who are 100% authentically them. And I appreciate and actually always look for people that are different than me in friendships, because that helps me grow.

I absolutely love Oscar. So classic. So timeless.

You just have to go after what you want and if it doesn't want you back then so be it; it doesn't deserve you anyways.

A fashion icon to me is somebody who has, the first person who struck you and introduced you to the world of fashion, and that person is my mom.

I try to focus less on the actual items and more on the way they make me feel. I like color around my face because it does something to me emotionally. I don't like to wear black because it brings me down.

'Fashion Star' has been an incredible platform to show America the amount of work and discussion that goes into each garment you see in a store.
