“I never really wanted to be on television, and I never needed that kind of attention.”
“I think we can all agree there's a kind of beauty myth that as soon as a woman cuts her hair she's more empowered. Feels strong. Floats down the street feeling like a Parisian woman during fashion week, all carefree. She doesn't care what anyone else thinks! But that's not always the case.”
“When in doubt, put on a floral dress and ankle boots - that is always a great and easy go-to outfit.”
“All of the collections I've done have been so much fun. The more knowledge and the more education I can get the better the line is. It's something I never went to school for, so the more knowledge I get, the more advanced the line can be.”
“I think it's hard to have a camera in your face every day. If you're not already confident about how you look, then you're going to want to do things to change it.”

“Jeans are super American and will never go out of style. When they first came on the fashion scene they were a statement of women empowerment. When women began wearing pants, they wore jeans! They weren't just denim, they were part of a feminist movement.”
“See, I got into really bad eating habits when I was in high school because my metabolism was fast - I was eating what I wanted and it wasn't showing, so I didn't think twice about what I put in my body.”
“You know, this might surprise people, but what I really want and what I'm really working toward is a Chanel suit. I'd really like to have one that I could wear forever - a really classic one.”

“Always make sure you feel comfortable and confident in what you're wearing.”
