Are you kidding me? No way... oh my god, thank you. |
Fashion Week was a fantasy that came true. |
I don't care if you're a guy named Tom and drink eight six-packs a day, you're still going to have an opinion of someone who walks into a room wearing a bad outfit. Anything that you can see a before and an after, if you can watch the process in between, that's something that's going to be of interest to anyone. |
I don't think my life will change. Maybe I'm being naive. I will try to make it work. Fashion is about having a good factory and good employees, and I can do that here. |
I haven't read my contract yet. I can really put it back into my business, and buy some nice clothes. I would buy some Alexander McQueen. I love his stuff. |
I think I did step out of my own boundaries. To me, it was a very classic line, but definitely edgy and structural, still flattering to the female form. |
I think my collection was the most cohesive, and I think I did step out of my own boundary. |
I was just very happy with my collection, so I didn't care if I won or lost. It sounds corny, but I really felt like I had won [by presenting at Olympus Fashion Week]. I really did. |
I'm still shocked that I was chosen. |
It's about me figuring out how to do this right, where I can balance having a life also. People are going to hate me (for saying this), but I'm really happy with my life and I'm really happy I'm the winner and I'm really going to try to make something out of it, but am I going to be the next Vera Wang or Ralph Lauren? I don't know. |
My sisters are all busy with their own lives but at the end of the day, when I am, like, I have eight dresses to cut (and say), 'Can you come over?' I have free labor. There is nothing else. |
She hates it. She did it all her life and she had to learn how to sew to survive. She couldn't fathom I want to sew because it is my dream. |
The 13 challenges nearly killed me. I think I did a great job. |
When you're surrounded by seven gay men and they're all characters, at the end of the day, you just do what you can. |
