Do you ever collaborate with Joseph Altuzarra on his designs?
  "I guess it's the little kid-cousin in me, but I'm always asking him for advice!  He has definitely helped me in my career — he knows the fashion industry inside and out and he's helped me to navigate all the decisions and opportunities that I've been confronted with since I moved to New York at only 18. Today, I feel really thrilled to have seen the fashion industry from so many angles: as a writer, both in front and behind the camera, in production and research...it makes me feel like I can take on all the unique projects that are starting to take form!"

Altuzarra resort dress, Esquivel shoes, Colab sunglasses, Finn Jewelry bracelet and ring.
