I would say there's always a movement of music and fashion in youth culture - every decade inspires the new one.

I became a freelance stylist to survive, and then I had a kid. I bankrupted in 1988 and had a kid in 1990.

When I was a child, I lived in Morocco, and I would always buy a lot of beads from the markets and to make jewellery for friends. Later, at 18, I would do my own clothes and make my own patterns. When I first came to New York, people just assumed I was a stylist because I was so into fashion.
