I Hate The Terminology Of "costume" Because

I Think That Red Polka Red Dress Is Just Iconic.

And Even With Traditional Fashion Models, Where It's Their Job To Be A Certain Size And A Certain Proportion, You Have To Make Adjustments Once You See Your Clothes On A Real Live Person. Now Imagine Doing That With More Sizes, More Proportions. You Really Have To Play With Every Piece. So Timing Is A Big Part Of It. You Have To Make The Time.

I Hate The Terminology Of "costume" Because My Clothes Are Not Costumes At All. I Think They're High Fashion, Avant-garde, And More Couture, Definitely, And Yes, Some Of My Pieces Are Not Particularly Wearable, But I Wouldn't Say They're Costumes, I'd Say They're More Couture.

Well I Am From Annapolis Maryland. I Went To High School In Baltimore, But I Grew Up In Annapolis. It Was A Cute Town. We Lived On A Waterfront Community. It Was Good, Even Though I Don't Really Fit The Preppy Boater Kind Of Style.

It Was Something I Was More Interested In Myself. When I Went To See My Sister Dance At Ballet, I Was Really Into Costumes And The Arts, And My Family Was Also Supportive Of Whatever Me And My Sister Wanted To Do. I Would Say I Pushed Myself The Most To Be Into Design.
