Fabrics and lining make a big difference in the garment. If you're buying an expensive trench coat, and it's lined in something cheap, it doesn't feel as nice.

You've got to look at the timing. But Mrs. Michelle Obama. Gwyneth Paltrow. Zendaya. Those are women who inspire other women's style for sure.

There are still places to go, there are still dinners, there are still parties, and you can still get dressed up. That's part of having fun in fashion.

I even like when girls wear printed Minnie Mouse T-shirts with a cool ball gown skirt, or a ripped up pair of jeans - it's all about how you style it.

There are a ton of A-list stars I'd love to dress - fashionistas like Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson. Also, Cate Blanchett would be fun and fabulous. My picks vary by the day and how I'm feeling. But, as a new, young designer, I'm open to working with everyone!

I think that red polka red dress is just iconic.

For me I'm a luxury brand trying to prove to people and the industry that it's not about being a TV celebrity in any which way, it's about being a designer and having a business and being successful at that.

You can wear whatever, be whatever, do whatever you want.

Working in a salon, you look at trends all day long. You're looking at color all the time, what new products are coming out. You're a part of the fashion industry, especially if you're working in a higher-end salon.

Well I am from Annapolis Maryland. I went to High school in Baltimore, but I grew up in Annapolis. It was a cute town. We lived on a waterfront community. It was good, even though I don't really fit the preppy boater kind of style.

When you're a teenager with a creative mind, be as creative as possible. I'd rather you go nuts. Having more ideas is always better.

I'm going to have some fabulous nights out with champagne.

I'd rather buy clothes then buy a bed

We have a lot of different girls on the runway today! All different sizes.

And even with traditional fashion models, where it's their job to be a certain size and a certain proportion, you have to make adjustments once you see your clothes on a real live person. Now imagine doing that with more sizes, more proportions. You really have to play with every piece. So timing is a big part of it. You have to make the time.

When you're an adult designer, you're either running a business or you're helping someone else's business run. Either way, that's a lot of pressure.

A bad investment is going for quantity over quality. If you're trying to be careful with your wallet, especially with the economy right now, you have to choose staple pieces.

When Gwyneth Paltrow wore a dress of ours, that was probably our number one best seller besides when the lovely Mrs. [Michelle] Obama wore our dress.
