How did you become a fan of China Royal?\u00a0<\/b>
\nI got lucky! And since Shikiri’s reputation precedes her–I’d known her to be an opinion leader in fashion–that interested me in supporting her.<\/p>\n

Why are you a Kickstarter backer?<\/b>
\nRather than talk about it, I want to be about it. I always want to support projects that I believe in and want to help, no matter the size. I feel like the bonus doesn’t have to be on any one single person or a few; rather, if many come together and collectively support a project then it will all come true.<\/p>\n

What are some fave CR pieces?<\/b>
\nI am in love with the gold stitch cream sweater.<\/p>\n

Who are some of your other favorite designers you plan to mix and match with\u00a0your China Royal?<\/b>
\nI’ve already planned to rock it with my favorite foil Monika Chiang jeans along with my Sand Shimmer Collar Jimmy Choo heels.<\/p>\n

How do you describe your style?<\/b>
\nI always want my style to reflect me. I tend to not obey trends as much as I obey myself. I let the vibe of the day determine my style, which changes day to day. So, I guess you could say my style is eclectic \u2013 drawing from multiple ideas and styles that are complimentary. My other philosophy is a less-is-more approach. I can compensate for the rest with my \u201cbeingness.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are some trends you might indulge in this fall?<\/b>
\nThe only thing that really changes for me in the fall is that the weather cools down from what has been a blazing L.A. summer \u2013 and I welcome the coziness of a sweater, and love the warmth of all the colors. I’d love to look like a pile of fallen maple leaves.<\/p>\n

How will you wear your rewards?<\/b>
\nI love mixing the unexpected! I will wear my China Royal Tee with a chunky diamond necklace, ripped jeans rolled up at the bottom, and patent leather stilettos.<\/p>\n

What would you love to see from China Royal next?<\/b>
\nI would love to see the marriage of Chinese and Jamaican textiles reflected in the clothes.
