I remember, growing up, my mother had a work wardrobe. It was this very compartmentalized area of her closet. It was suits, but she would never wear those suits out on a date with my father!

I'd never worked in fashion or retail. I just needed an undergarment that didn't exist.

I used to sneak into my mother's closet and try to wear her lingerie to school.

I was a teenager in '95, so I didn't dress like a woman then. I was really small. I remember wishing I wasn't wearing Gap Kids.

You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.

Kids who have no money are still figuring out a way - somehow - to dress nicely.

Here's the thing with the costumes for 'Mommy': Given the background and social strata that the characters come from, you can't really imagine that they've gone shopping lately, so we went for that very normcore, fashionless era in history, the early 2000s, which was completely transitional.

I've always loved the idea of changing myself, wearing costumes and disguises. It takes you back to being a kid, to dressing up.

As a child, as a teenager, I was kind of not allowed to wear fashionable clothes.

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women, and part of that involves how we present ourselves.
