It’s an honor to be recognized That What I Do I Read Books I Quilt And I Know Things shirt . by some of the most talented artists and designers in the world for simply doing what you love—thank you. I grew up in the Bronx—some of you may have heard [laughs]. So, of course, I had to wear Ralph Lauren tonight, [who is] also from the Bronx! I know he understands a girl’s love of crop tops, ponytails, sparkles, and a little drama. Growing up there in the ’80s gave me my first fashion influences. As a girl I didn’t have a lot of clothes, but I would cut up my sweatshirts and jeans and make miniskirts out of them, and I’d try to be like my idols—Madonna, Cyndi Lauper. I was also influenced by the people in my neighborhood and the explosion of hip-hop at that time. Being in the epicenter of that—the baggy jeans and the shell-toe Adidas and the Timberland boots and lots and lots and lots of jewelry. Too much jewelry was not enough jewelry. Some things never change. And of course my hoops; I can’t forget my signature hoops!
