On growing up following fashion:
“I have always been interested in fashion. The way that I dress is very instinctual for me. I’m very driven by comfort. I’ve been very inspired by my mother and my grandmother. I don’t feel like there are any [style] rules at all.”
Why comfort rules all:
“I can be present for other people when I’m in comfortable clothes. If I don’t feel comfortable in what I’m wearing, I can’t really show up the way that I want to. In high school and college, I had this narrative that if I’m going out, I have to wear a certain thing; I have to wear heels, I have to wear makeup. At this point, whatever I feel comfortable in, and whatever my instinct is, that’s what I need to wear.”
How family style inspires her:
“My grandmother passed away when I was five, so what I do remember was her clothes. I have memories of hanging out with her while she was in bed, and just remember no matter what, she was wearing a hat at all times. I think they were insane. Some of them had lace covering part of her face… She was always wearing a hat. I have some of them. People remember her for that.”
