About Rachel Roy: Rachel Roy is an American fashion designer.
When I look at pictures when I was younger, I do the quintessential cringe.
I find I'm an old soul.
I care about how you feel when you're wearing something, because I think that if you feel confident, you look beautiful.
I am really focused on how I can improve myself and the world around me.

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women, and part of that involves how we present ourselves.
If I didn't love the hourglass, I wouldn't love myself.
I'm inspired by different cultures around the world and love to incorporate these facets into my collection.
I love to smell like roses, literally all day!
I always have one foot in the street, so I know not everyone wants to dress like the women they see in music videos.
