Seven years old, I brought my Barbie’s to life with new haircuts, and new fashions with all types of accessories. My Barbie’s where the hottest thing in their Barbie world! Then as I got older the visions of designs would just come to me, and then I knew someone was trying to tell me something.

What designers do you admire, or would most like to work with and why?

I really admire, Jean Paul Gaultier, he brings such funky twist of interruptions of fashion and he's not a man that is scared to test his limits and have fun with fashion! I also admire the work of Balancaga an, amazing secretive man that had such fanatic designs of his century. The way Balancaga draped his clothes and his style just makes me smile and feel good to be a woman. He was an amazing designer that brought fashion into a spectacle.
