Being able to choose the skin I live in was the draw of fashion.

I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.

Style applies to a lifestyle. It's not about being told this is trendy, you must do it. Now people have more access than ever before.

Style is all about your individual sense of how you want to present yourself to the world. It's about loving what you've got instead of wishing for what you're not.

You have to let go of who you were to allow yourself to become who you are.

If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.
