From when you started to discover your interest in fashion and how did that lead to creating your own style?

My love for fashion equals that for music. fashion and music equally influences each other. And I guess it’s just experiences and instinct that lead me to create my own style. It comes through time.

It’s probably the most recent one where I did a collaboration with Zero10.

Yimeng Yu is one of my favourite digital brands. I’d like to wear dresses that are super corky and dramatic. Pink is also an important factor to be considered.

It will grow tremendously!
