My mom instilled in me at a young age how important it is to be properly dressed when you leave the house, no matter the time of day. Even if it's 4:30 A.M. and you're heading to the airport, you want to look and feel your best.

A lot of the time, if I have samples, I can't tailor a sample. Or, I might have just bought something and I don't have time to go to the tailor, there are ways to take thin, skinny belts and layer them, and do quick little fixes.

I love the mid-length skirt. That's really appropriate, you can wear that in many different day occasions.

I love to mix colors. For me, I don't have a rule, like "you can't wear silver and gold." You can mix it.

I kind of took inspiration from my time in Paris. That was kind of the real time when I discovered European fashion. It's stuck with me since University.

I’m a much nicer person, much more laid-back and relaxed, not serious like they show me.

Fashion has always been in my life, thanks to my mother and my aunt growing up. I think as I became an adult, my style evolved, and my love of fashion evolved even more.
