When I'm older, I want to have my own workout clothes line, like leggings and cute jackets in bright and fun colors.
When I first started, it was a dirty word to say you made clothes for people to wear... I was a little ashamed of it. You didn't always feel you were this amazing creative force.
Fashion is about so much more than just a pretty pair of pumps or the perfect hemline. For so many people across the country, it is a calling, it is a career, and it's a way they feed their families.
As a designer, you have to solve a lot of problems. Even though people are wearing clothes that are supposed to look beautiful, they'll have to do all kinds of things.
Growing up in Beirut, I used to go to the souks with my mother to buy fabrics... I understood fashion at an early age, and my first designs were when I was five.
I like to take my time when I'm designing and constructing outfits.
The nice thing about the fashion industry is that you're constantly working on something new.
If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education.
