I have always had a relationship with clothes.

I have always had a relationship with clothes.

Being from a very traditional Chinese-American family, my parents believed the only options to have a successful life were to be a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer or a business person.

My mother was a seamstress, so making clothes was not something you would willingly go into.

I think my parents were immigrants, you know, so I guess I would be first generation. Growing up in California.

When people ask about inspirations, and you're like 'oh, it was a flower or a mountain or a pony', some people just think you're insane. I'm worried to come across that way.

I'm not such a public person.
