Any great stories behind the arm candy?
"The orange string was bought on the street in Mumbai from a Hindi. I went back the next day of hiring him to make me hundreds of safety bracelets, but I couldn't find him and I looked for hours. The bracelet cost about 10 cents, so he would have been set for a while. I went to Mumbai with Fern Mallis for Lakme Fashion Week and have never taken this bracelet off. I wash it with Kiehl's soap only."

Have any tricks or tips for layering bracelets?
"My motto is more is more. My bracelets strangle my wrist but like in Brokeback Mountain—'I just can't quit them.' "
