What is fashion to you? Fashion reflects ones identity and defines who they are. But to me, fashion is what you want to be. Fashion can always be better and there's no end to it. This is why I love fashion. It’s exciting and makes ones life better. I can never get this kind of motivation and satisfaction from anywhere else.

Collection: “Delusion of Grandeur” – It is inspired by reflection and refraction phenomenons. It’s all about optical illusions. Through using various non-traditional materials, a new way of layering and dividing the male body is discovered. The gradation and transparency of garments are the highlights of this collection. With feminine slim cuts and fine tailoring, I'm defining masculinity in a new way.

What/who inspires you? Everything around me inspires me. But, most of my fashion collections are inspired by graphic elements from three-dimensional objects. I'm very inspired by Nicolas Ghesquière, Raf Simons, Philip Lim, and other mainstream minimal fashion designers.

What does Fusion mean to you? Fusion is a time to challenge and prove myself.
