What is fashion to you? Fashion is like the architecture that follows the body. It is a form of art that helps people realize themselves.

Collection: “UnFold” - This collection is inspired by Origami art, and the process of folding. I brought ideas from paper pop-up art into transformable garments. This technique gives three-dimensional perspective to my garments and makes them alive.

What/who inspires you? Modern architecture and interior design, Oriental art and paper art inspired me a lot. Also, fashion designers such as Issey Miyake, Nicolas Ghesquiere, Riccardo Tisci and Phoebe Philo serve as inspiration.

What does Fusion mean to you? Fusion is a great opportunity to show my work. It is also a big challenge, which pushes me forward.
