Right now I'd say my favorite fashion designer is Zac Posen.
When I was little, my parents really only wanted me to be a scientist or a doctor; they had never even heard of law school. I think even these days if you were to tell your mother you want to be a fashion designer, or an artist or a writer, a lot of Asian parents would be alarmed because they don't think that's a secure career.
I became a fashion designer by accident. I loved to make portrait drawings when I was a teenager, and from that came the interest in what people were wearing and why they were wearing it.
I never intended being a business person I wanted to be a fashion designer.
I definitely went through a phase where I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger... But I certainly wasn't very good at it.
If I was a fashion designer just following trends or designing for celebrities, I would not be fulfilled.
From singing to acting to songwriting to mom to fashion designer! It's been quite an evolution.
