I Thought To Be Feminine Was To

I Shave My Body In All Kinds Of Ways, Wear Tons Of Eyeliner And Dye My Hair Pink.

I Never Went To College And I Was Raised In Arkansas So There Wasn't A Lot Of Academic Language Being Thrown Around My House. We Weren't Idiots, But I Didn't Have That Access To Academic Feminism. I Had To Realize, On My Own, That Feminism Is Not Just About How Far Ahead You Can Get In A Job And It Isn't About Not Wearing Makeup. It Isn't About Not Watching Your Waistline. I Had To Recreate The World Entirely.

When I Moved Out Of My Mom's House At 18 I Was Almost As Sad To Leave Her Sewing Machine Behind As Anything Else.

I Have Learned So Much Making First Collection That I Am Excited To Use All Of It Towards Making The Next One Even Better! It's Been An Amazing Learning Curve And Experience.

I Think It's Really Cool That There Are People Like Adele On The Cover Of 'vogue' And 'rolling Stone,' And Like I Think It's Really Important That People Are Talking About Your Body, Because If They Don't, Then You'll Never Be Able To Break That Barrier.
