I' m very happy I could spend much more time at home with my fluffy friends during the lockdown. She’s more like a family member who keeps me feeling positive, especially during stressful times.

I’m very into Basilius Besler’s illustrated Hortus Eystettensis. It was created in the 17th century, but everything [in its pages] is still inspiring today, including the plants in the garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. I’m also fascinated with patterns from antique ceramics and furniture, both from the east and the west. I usually pick the elements based on the theme of the collection. For example, for the SS20 collection, we used loads of peach elements in the beading and embroideries, which reflected the romantic tragicomedy play called Peony Pavilion.

For me, the enticements come from an atmosphere, a gesture and a sort of emotion that is related to this woman in front of us. It’s not about how much cleavage and thigh we show, although neckline is important as it is where people tend to gaze.

I like the way you interpret the look. It's also the fluidity from the satin fabric itself which reflects the poetic and romantic movements of women.

I would like to say all women are perfect. There shouldn't be a single standard to judge how we are supposed to be. The differences and diversity between us as individuals are the most beautiful part.

Women probably wouldn’t have to worry about what they wear and travelling home by themselves at midnight wouldn’t be an issue.

I had planned to go in 2020 but unfortunately Covid-19 stopped all travelling plans. Hopefully, I can visit there next year.

Haha! She likes any garment with hanging thread – she can play with it all day long.
