I always have one foot in the street, so I know not everyone wants to dress like the women they see in music videos.

Everyone should work; it's good for the soul.

People around the world just want self-respect. They want to take care of themselves, they want to pay for their own bills, they want to take care of their families.

If I didn't love the hourglass, I wouldn't love myself.

My first job was in retail at the age of 14, and I have worked in the industry ever since.

I think that a woman wears so many hats, we have so many aspects to us that we're not just one thing. We represent so much within us and that kind of comes across for me as a designer through mixing prints and colors.

When I go out and I'm presenting the best side of myself, I want to look different from everyone, but I don't want it to look like I'm wearing a costume.
