Pia, who is from Guam, has been best friends with reality TV star Kylie for many years, and the pair feature frequently on each other's social media accounts. "Growing up in Guam, there weren't too many places to shop, so I had to be really creative," said Pia about her fashion background. "I'd just go in my parents' and sisters' closets and cut things up and put them back together. Now, even when I work with stylists, it's never like they are picking my outfits for me. I won't wear something just because someone told me to wear it. "Speaking to WWD about joining forces with Madonna, Pia added that she admires Madonna because "her confidence really attracted me and she can pull anything off. I take risks with fashion and Madonna always does, so she inspires me in that way. And I love her music like everyone else."
