"I often walk into stores and I'm like, 'I love this, but I wish it was more like that, or in a different color or in a different fabric' and now I get to do it," she told Vogue .
It starts at $200 for a t-shirt and goes up to more than $1,200 for a reversible parka.

"There is no six-month wait, you get it when you see it," she told Vogue . "There's no tease. You see it, love it, and want it and that's because I'm like that, I want things right away I see designers' new season [products] and I'm like, 'Look 11, I need that!'"
LVMH has invested nearly $67 million into the company.
