>> to talk about my clothes is to talk about where i'm from. i was part of a military family. my mom and dad were stationed in puerto rico . so i was born in puerto rico , raised in hawaii, my dad's black, mom is mexican, and my husband's korean. so we just have culture. so what i did was i designed clothes. growing up, there weren't really kids like me. but now our kids are like these global citizens. so i just wanted to celebrate the different cultures. so i'll grab fun fabrics and each one will come with a tag that kind of explains where it's from.
