My mom is just so good with fashion! She always tells me what looks good, what doesn't look good, and she gives me great advice.

You can blame my mom for some of my worst fashion moments. She used to dress me and my sister in a lot of patterns. Like, she would put me in striped stockings with a floral dress. Like, why are you doing that to me?

With fashion, my mother was an icon, but she never lived it in the sense that she was never obsessed with fashion. When I was a young girl, my sister wasn't doing fashion, so I started fashion thinking, 'I'm going to do something that they haven't done yet.' That was my silly scheme at the time.

People ask me, 'Don't you ever run out of ideas?' Well, on the first place, I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea, it's too limiting and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity.

My mom and both of my grandmothers have always been into fashion, so it's been around us our whole lives.

I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.

Just when I think I hate fashion, I hate clothes, I'm seized by this crazy thing that I have to do. I have this little studio now where I just draw. I can be in the room for three days and not even look up.

Fashion is in my blood. Growing up, I was always clacking around the house in my mother's shoes.

My mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design.
