“We were just vibing, I got on with her, she’s so down to earth.
“It’s really inspiring, especially with Rhianna, she’s so huge, her business is huge but she’s still so humble and down to earth.
“I feel like she connects with her community and that’s how I want to be and I want my own brand like that.”

“I wanted to make sure it was a good affordable price point, I’ve got a lot of younger girls and I wanted to make sure everyone could buy the collection.
