» Whitney’s MTV Style Interview
Are you designing the accessories, shoes, or jewelry for the collection?
“No. Lulu Frost and DANNIJO are doing the jewelry, and Giuseppe Zanotti is doing the shoes. I really want to do accessories, it’s been something I’m interested in. A lot of what you see on The City is shot all from the torso up, and I think you can do a lot with statement pieces. I think people see me as someone who wears a lot of big jewelry, so it would be fun to do a costume jewelry type line. In the future — a dream.”
How is this show different than previous seasons?
“I definitely feel more ready. Whether it’s from working on other fashion shows or working in fashion in general, I feel really prepared. I feel like l can finally put out a collection that speaks to a lot more people. It’s not as boutique-y and it’s a lot more affordable this season.”
Why did you decide to make it more affordable?
“As fashion designers, we have to take note that it’s not fair to people who can’t buy $1,000 dress. All of my pieces are in affordable fabrics. There are T-shirts (which she tweeted about this summer), and spandex pieces that are layering pieces are $30. It ranges up to $400 for special pieces.”
