PS: How did it feel to collaborate with Samsung for New York Fashion Week and have a billboard in Times Square?
MW: That is the craziest thing that's ever happened to me in life, period. I came to America when I was 11 and the first time I went to Times Square, it was just magical. My friends and I would always hang out at 42nd street, and I always told myself I would have a billboard. And it finally happened with Samsung. It was just surreal. With the direction the industry is going in with tech, I felt like Samsung was the best partner. It's a brand known worldwide, and the experience I had with their team was so great, so everything just felt right. And since everyone thinks of Maya as a girl, the fireside chat was the perfect opportunity for my supporters and customers to finally see the face behind the brand.
