When I was a kid, I was trendier. I'd wear anything. I was in love beads and platforms.

There's no such thing as trends. There's no such thing as style, even. It's just whatever you feel.

I don't buy trends, because the pieces don't last and I wind up never wearing them. That's why I like to shop with my children; they'll always tell me the truth.

Fusion fashion - that's what I'm inspired by, taking all these different cultures and then trying to put it together that a girl here would love to wear.

I was always trying on clothes, always really into fashion, ever since probably kindergarten.

I grew up in a cloistered, conservative culture that adhered to strict gender roles. So it's easy to understand why the 'girl dressed as a boy' trope resonated so much. In a world that didn't want to give people like me adventures or significance, books with cross-dressing girls were treasures.
