I Wasn't Prepared To Get

I'm From Naples. I Was Born In A Poor Neighborhood And I Always, In My Heart, Felt Like It Would Be Amazing To Be Able To Adopt A Child From Naples. I Could Give Someone The Opportunity I Had. I Would Love To Give Back In That Way And Pay It Forward.

I Was Probably A B Student In High School, But It Wasn't Until I Got To College That I Said, 'oh! This Is What It's All About.' And Then I Became An A Student. I Studied Journalism In College And That's What Really Kicked It Into High Gear For Me.

A Rumor That Followed Me Forever Was That My Family Was In The Mafia. For Years I Had To Live With It. They'd Call Me The Mafia Princess, So I Rolled With It For The Rest Of High School. People Even Joke About It Today.

To Be A True Fashionista, You Have To Be On The Best-dressed List And Worst-dressed List.

I Design For A Woman Who Is On The Go. Women Are Busier Than Ever, And I Wanted To Design A Collection That Can Go From Day To Night And Be Fashionable. Sometimes I Wear Three Outfits In One Day.
