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

Since an early age, I've been intrigued by the idea of design evolution.

You can make jeans and a t-shirt super stylish. It's what you make of it, you know?

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

I try to always have flowers in the house. I have a florist in Chinatown, and they deliver orchids every two weeks. I like living with living things.

I have always had a relationship with clothes.

I'm not such a public person.
