In March 2021, Tina spoke to Paris Fashion Week and said:

I also gained weight during the first lockdown in New York that lasted from March through June 2020, so I’m rotating between the same 4-5 pairs of leather or printed pants, a T-shirt or sweater, and a warm, wonderful coat.

Tina, whose favorite fashion item is shoes, began her career at media publication Prestige. Since then, she has gone on to launch a sneaker in collaboration with Topshop, and signed exclusive projects with Michael Kors, Gucci and Bulgari.
