He has strong knitting skills to construct womenswear with an unique form. The story behind his collection always combines history and fantasy, the real and the surreal. He likes to use traditional oriental elements with modern interpretation. He also likes to blend together the bold innovation with a touch of casualness. His unique approaches reveal his particular cultural background and an extra-ordinary thinking style. He manipulated various knitting techniques creating visually stunning yet physically fitted garments. Patterns are always simple yet imaginative. Graphics are sophisticated, but low-keyed. His clothes are daring and wearable, a best mixture of avant-garde and commercial feasibility. All in all, it has the potential to become a successful ready to wear brand.
