The Story Behind Maya Penn's Met Gala Gown Made From Plastic Waste

I love vintage from many, many different eras. A lot of what I wear is vintage, whether it's '70s or '80s or '40s, or anything in between. I grew up wearing hand-me-downs, and a lot of what I wear to conferences and red carpets is literally my mom's and my aunt's.

My personal style is a little bit of everything. I love anything that has a lot of personality, that has an artsy aesthetic to it, whether that is bringing in more color or coming from a monochrome look. But something that I always say is that Mother Nature is my favorite designer, and a lot of my outfits are also very much drawing on the amazing beauty of the natural world, because no one can do it better than her.
