compare to NYC?

→ How often do you see people wearing your designs? It always puts a smile on my face when I’ll go around L.A. to Barneys New York or out to eat and will see somebody more often than not wearing my stuff, and they’ll mix it with their Céline bag, or Hermés, and it makes me happy because that’s exactly how I pictured it: just merging street and luxury.

→ So, do you know how to twerk too? Yes I do! I know how to twerk! I always have dance parties at my house. Me and my friends have had contests before. Definitely. [Laughs]
