Fashion is a great thing, it's a way to express who you are.

I wore that same outfit that the male model over there is wearing. It's inclusive, it feels good and that's what I wanted. I want people to feel good.

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 love to entertain and make people laugh.

I've always dressed myself, even when I was younger. My parents didn't pick out my clothes or anything. They let me do that, which I think is an important thing because it allows for kids to experiment and figure out what they like, even at a young age.

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.

I was very inspired by working women, and also women who aren't working yet! I want them to have shoes that feel luxurious and special and well-crafted and thought about. But also, they should have shoes that won't break the bank. You don't have to spend three years saving up for beautiful shoes.
