-The theme of this New York Fashion Show is "building". I heard that you have gained inspiration from the Manhattan and high-rise buildings in the sunset. Please introduce it.
Inspired by everything. I am inspired by movies, music, books, presentations, conversations with friends, and many other places. However, I try not to start my homework immediately after I get inspiration. Instead, I will outline my mind and picture books and then make my work later. Each season, I often select three themes for my homework, and then select the most scalable themes for production. After my September 6, 2013 show in 10th, I walked along the streets of New York with my photographer and friends. When I say "What will I do in New York in September 6, 2018", the colors and buildings of the sunset in New York are in sight. The friend said, "Start from now on ". Then, at seven o'clock every night, he took a picture of New York and sent it to me. I used these photos for reference when I made "2014 autumn and winter clothes". This fashion show received a good response in New York.



-How did you become a designer? Who is your role model?
I used to do clothing retail. I found that all my products were sold very well, and sellers around me imitated the style I chose and sold at a cheaper price. As a result, I began to design myself and sold my clothes and designs very well. Since then, I have embarked on the design path and decided to become a designer. I attended Seoul clothing week as the youngest designer.

My role is hurmut Lang. Although he has retired, I like his simple aesthetics. He is not a professional, but has the ability to change the world.

-How can we overcome the gap between experience and education in the process of becoming a designer?
I have also experienced a difficult period of disregard, but my self-confidence comes from constant self-affirmation. Although I do not have a high degree of education, I have the confidence to beat anyone in the case of "one-on-one" design. Now, I think it may be because of this deficiency that I have taken my place today.

-What are the opportunities for the clothing industry from Hongda and Dongdaemun to the global market? How do you overcome these difficulties?
In my opinion, a dream is just a step-by-step approach and should be magnified. Although I have been doing business in Dongdaemun, I may make more money, but in that case, my ability and strength are definitely not as good as now. And Cui fanxi will not be so strong. Money is easy to earn, but the strength and ability are not so easy to accumulate.

The difficulties we experienced when entering the international market cannot be expressed in words. Although there have been many painful and difficult times, I believe that there will be 1% hope and 1% development in the next quarter.

-When is the most impressive clothing week?
Although I was deeply impressed with each clothing week, I was most impressed with the first Seoul clothing week. As a hawker doing business at Dongdaemun, I felt the flash and cheers when I came to the curtain for the first time.

-What design do you pursue?
What design do you pursue?

-As a designer and operator, what is your greatest wish in the future?
It is my goal to become a global top designer and build a global top designer brand. Just like today, I will overcome difficulties and hardships and continue to realize my dreams and hopes.
