How did fashion start for you? MM: My grandmothers were both seamstresses, so maybe there? I didnt really get into it myself until college. I didn’t really think about it. What draws you to fashion over other forms/mediums of art? MM: I love to paint and sculpt and I love music and architecture. There are a ton of art forms that I enjoy working in. Fashion allows me to employ many different crafts and techniques. It also garners a lot of attention these days, which of course is good for business. How does your creative process work? MM: I collect thoughts and music and visual tid bits until a direction becomes clear, then I put it all together. What is your favorite color to work with? MM: I like black and neons. I like contrast and high frequency colors. Who is your favorite artist/designer and why? MM: Favorite artists that I raised myself on, Marcel Duchamp, Simon Doonan, Andrea Zittel, Galliano. Favorite current/future artists are Jennifer Sindon, Scarlett Rouge and my sister, Karisa Morante. Favorite designers are William Travilla, Edith Head, Stephen Sprouse and Asha Mines (my old partner). Describe your signature look/style? MM: I dont know if I have one of those, but I tend to design with lots of pieces in lots of colors. My signature is probably that I like to design specifically for a certain person, so the design is infused with a lot of who they are. Who would you say are your biggest influences and why? MM: Futurist painters, 80’s roller-skaters, quantum mechanics, soul train, sacred geometry, and blade runner. If you were not a fashion designer, what would you be and why? MM: I’d probably work in nightlife, or I’d own a little pizzeria. I love pizza.

How has television changed your life? To be perfectly honest, my life has not changed that drastically since the show has aired.The increased interest in our social media and the casual “can we please take a picture,”question are pretty much the same as they were before. What makes your reality show seem so real all of the time? Thanks for that question and compliment combo! I think the show seems to be so real because we are real! We are exactly who we are both on and off the camera. What can we expect from season 2? A lot of realness and some juicy pected in season two! The season could not be more excited for it everybody will have a new formed #RichKids.
drama can be exis amazing and I to air! I think opinion of us
Describe yourself in 3 words... Funny, loud and real. Career goals? What’s happening in your life at the moment and what can we expect in the near future? My focus is purely on my website boobsandloubs. com. My ultimate goal is to one day turn my life into a hilarious book. What do you want people to take away from your show and how would you like them to remember you? I would like for people to just enjoy the show and not take it so seriously. I want people to realize we are just fun, nice and cool people and I want people to realize that we are just trying to figure out our way in life just like everybody else.

How has television changed your life? Television hasn’t changed my life that much.It has certainly been a challenge, but I’ve really surpassed my own expectations with this work ethic I never knew I had! What makes your reality show seem so real all of the time? Our reality show is unique because it really is real. We have lived our lives so publicly growing up in Beverly Hills.we have so much material to give the show and we don’t need to fake anything! What can we expect from season 2? Season 2 will have a lot more depth from each of us. Season 1 was surface level and fun.you will see each of us really trying to establish ourselves as fully independent adults and really wanting to fill our parents footsteps and make them proud! 5. Describe yourself in 3 words... Loving, generous and fabulous. Career goals? What’s happening in your life at the moment and what can we expect in the near future? My passion is truly interior design and furniture! I love designing more than anything.I am continuing to build my high end interior design business, but at the same time I am launching a website that offers interior design services at very affordable prices. What do you want people to take away from your show and how would you like them to remember you? I hope people laugh with us and cry with us. I hope that people are inspired by us. I hope that people know that we don’t take ourselves too seriously and that we acknowledge how lucky we are to have been born into the privileged lifestyle that we have become accustomed to, but that we are eager to make it on our own as well.

How has television changed your life? I don’t think television, or being on it, has really changed my life. I do think that people now pay more attention to what I am saying, doing, wearing, instagramming and tweeting. What I do in my day-to-day life is pretty much still the same. What makes your reality show seem so real all of the time? Our reality show seems so real because it is! We all have such big personalities. We are such a crazy and entertaining group of friends. What can we expect from season 2? I think in season two you will get to see a different side of all of us. It is still glamorous and fun, but I think we have all grown up a lot since season one. We are all in different stages of our lives Describe yourself in 3 words... Adventurous, honest and sentimental. Career goals? What’s happening in your life at the moment and what can we expect in the near future? I have really been trying to focus on my career and creating something of my own. I hope to have my own empire of products one day, and I am currently in the process of creating my first one, a jewelry line. It’s going to be a line of nameplate necklaces of my favorite hashtags I have come to be known for on Instagram and Twitter. #FABULUXE, #FUNEMPLOYED, #NOFILTER and so on. What do you want people to take away from your show and how would you like them to remember you? I want people to be entertained by the show. I want them to have fun and laugh with us. I want them to not just see us as #richkids, but to see us as real people that they can relate to and get to know through our personal journeys.
