I would write [to] the big five...and they would all say no. 'Try again next year,' 'She's too green'...By the time she got to American Vogue, she still had never worn any of those designers.
She only wore Dolce [& Gabbana] when she got a Dolce [& Gabbana] campaign. We built that girl's career and my career using smaller brands and emerging designers to prove a point that it can happen!
When I first started, I wanted to fit in. I wanted to be so inclusive with my style, and it was really hard. I haven't been given an opportunity to wear these big-name designers.
