Emhoff revealed to the New York Post during her Gotham NYC welcome party, "This new art form kind of was birthed out of my knitwear, where I started kind of playing around with this duplicate stitch technique."

She added, "But I found that no one really wanted to wear all of this stuff, because it’s kind of crazy and loud, but they liked looking at it. So then I just started experimenting. And now I’m here."
