You can also see CL's interaction with Alexander Wang and Jeremy Scott

CL on the Perception of Asian Stars in America: "I don't think about my skin. When I'm creating I don't think about the fact that I'm Asian… I think they have a certain way they look at an Asian girl. That was the struggle for me, for the last two years… I'm not a thing, I'm not a doll."
