My mother was extremely controlled, sort of flawless. And I always tend to be a bit more hippie.

I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.

When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.

My mother is the reason I'm in fashion. She worshiped it. Unfortunately, she infected me.

It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.

It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.
