I think women are very powerful and I think we're more powerful together than separated.

I think that there shouldn't be an age limit to become a boss, so having that element is really important.

I don't mind if people look at me like I'm crazy. I'm just being me.

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 just wanted it to be me.

I'm very inspired by a lot of things from the past, from Cher to Diana Ross.

The best thing is to realize that you are who you are and you gotta work with what you got.
