"  Seventeen: How long have you been working with Katy Perry? Johnny Wujek: I&amp;#039;ve known Katy probably about 10 years and I&amp;#039;ve been working with her since before she kissed a girl. 17: Do you have a favorite look that you&amp;#039;ve styled for her? JW: I really loved our Metropolitan Museum of Art dress that lit up. 17: Do you have a favorite type of material to work with? JW: The cool thing about the projects I do with Katy are the different mediums. I love working with LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and the future technology stuff. There&amp;#039;s even cool heat reactive and sound reactive fabrics that I&amp;#039;m working with right now. 17: Have there been any fashion emergencies? JW: When we did the Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret show her zipper bust on her costume. And when a zipper busts, there&amp;#039;s no recovering, but somehow I figured out how to loop it back in. My hands were shaking and they were like, &amp;quot;We need her now!&amp;quot; It was so intense, it ended up literally going up as she walked out the door. 17: What is the process that goes into designing Katy&amp;#039;s costumes? JW: We work side by side on every project. We&amp;#039;ll get the schedule and know what&amp;#039;s coming up for each event and pick out the vibe and pick out the theme. Then sketches are drawn up and she&amp;#039;ll approve them or we&amp;#039;ll make corrections. If it&amp;#039;s for a premiere, I&amp;#039;ll make a folder of things I like and she selects what she likes\u2014it&amp;#039;s always a collaboration. 17: Do you collaborate with her hairstylist and makeup artist? JW: That usually happens on set. If it&amp;#039;s for an event, they&amp;#039;ll see what she&amp;#039;s wearing and then she&amp;#039;ll always have her own ideas too. And if it&amp;#039;s for a video, we create look boards. So we all work together on photo shoots or video shoots. There&amp;#039;s always prepping and planning together. On a red carpet event, I show them what she&amp;#039;s wearing and that inspires hair and makeup. 17: How can girls emulate Katy&amp;#039;s style without going all out with glitter and LEDS? JW: I think it&amp;#039;s just about being an individual, throwing in color, even if it&amp;#039;s with a colorful shoe. Just have fun with it. 17: Katy&amp;#039;s so great at embracing her curves, what advice do you have on dressing for your body type? JW: I think when you&amp;#039;re a curvy girl, accentuate, rather than trying to hide in potato sacks and don&amp;#039;t be afraid to wear things that are a little more fitted to show your shape. Katy&amp;#039;s got big boobs and curves like a pin-up girl\u2014own it and know that it&amp;#039;s your body and it&amp;#039;s beautiful! Check out the best of Katy&amp;#039;s fashion looks in her new DVD, Katy Perry: Part of Me! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
