I was also very lucky to be able to work with talented people while I was learning. I didn't actually go to fashion school. I worked with Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy which was a really pivotal experience for me. He taught me a lot about being faithful to your own voice and to really believe in your own voice and that's made a big difference.

There's a side to me that likes to make clothes for everyday. But I also think of fashion as an escape. It's like a dream. It shouldn't always be practical and about real life. Sometimes you have to do a piece that has a bit more of a wow-almost like, â€œI don't know who's going to wear that. It's almost too much.â€ That's a lot of what fashion is about. Even in an economy that isn't strong and where it's important to sell clothes, you have to make things that let people dream a little, you know?

I was not a very popular kid in high school, and I had this idea that the way that I dressed would change how liked I was. It was that kind of Pygmalion story. I think, ultimately that's probably why I became interested in fashion, its transformative power, and how it can change your identity.
