“I think the great thing about New York style is that it’s emblematic of why people want to live here. You can be the person you want to be and you’ll always find others who completely understand you. When I go out with some crazy outfit on, I do expect attention, but it’s usually people saying encouraging and fun things about the spirit it takes to be different. I really admire people who have a look and stick with it, like Liza Minnelli or Snoop Dogg.”
