Fashion should be genderless; how people perceive the idea of beauty can vary from one to another.

I think a lot of people feel that they want something softer. Things are changing. It's about individuality, and in a way, it's romantic.

There is something in Shanghai that is very exciting and alive - the idea of a city with two different souls, one from today and another from a long time ago, is amazing.

I always explain through images and characters what fashion means, and describing scent is almost the same. It can be very powerful. It can really change the perspective a person has of you.

I understand that people want to see just the posh side of fashion, but fashion is a lot of work.
