1.What does real leather mean to you?
Real leather means sustainability, beauty and timelessness . My all black outfit is a classic look. I specifically chose to shoot my outfit against a vintage bookstore to amplify the timeless qualities of real leather.
2.What do you love to do in your spare time?
Reading plays an essential role in my life, good books teach you life lessons and become classics in my mind. The values of real leather just like that of good books, both of them will never be eliminated by time.
3.In what ways does Shanghai embodies the attributes of real leather to you?
Shanghai is a marvellous city and wonderfully international. It is diverse and varied in the same way that leather is a diverse material and can be found in many different applications. Leather can be manufactured to make bags, shoes, clothes, sports equipment and even steering wheels for cars and for me I find that quality really special and unique.
