Sizing was also important to me; I wanted to make sure that nobody felt alienated or felt like they weren't thought about in the process of this brand. I wanted to make sure that everyone felt included, which brings us to the gender neutral pieces - the idea of wearing what you want and whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident. I think that's the overall feeling of the Daya collection.

I want a lot of young people to see me in my working environment. I want them to see me being a good person while also running a business. I want young people to aspire to that.

[My fashion] line is inspired by real people, so I guess you could say it was listening to them, what they need, what they want and then translating that into coming from me.

I believe you should wear whatever you feel confident in.

I use my platform for more than just myself. Art is a reflection of human emotions. To neglect the political is to neglect what essentially is your job of storytelling. I would rather be known for the content of my character than for the project that I did.

Sometimes when you see things online, it's very consuming.

You have to experiment and that's gonna help your confidence so much when you step out and try things.
