You mentioned you made your headband and dress, what goes through your mind when you’re making something? And when did you start making your own clothes and jewelry?
"I started making my own stuff when I was a child and we had no money, and my mom was like, 'It’s okay we don’t have money to go shopping, but this is how we make clothes and this is how we make jewelry.' So, you never have to be limited by money. You can be fashionable with no money. I just carried it on and it’s usually by accident that I’ll design something. I’ll put it on my head the wrong way and it’ll look great so I’ll keep it there."

You’re obviously into nail art, do you have a particular person or place you go every time?
"Yeah, I go to Valley — they’re on Elizabeth Street. It's great that they’re local. They’re fantastic."

What’s your favorite nail-art design you’ve ever had?
"Before this one, I got like a tribal-print design. It was all black, white, gold, and silver with this amazing tribal design. I’m actually going to get it again tomorrow because it was amazing."
