1. What inspires you?

I really enjoy and appreciate Chinese traditional arts and culture. This includes folk music and even traditional Chinese landscape gardening. It reminds me everyday to respect classics.

2.What about leather makes it feel like a classic to you?

Probably the colour, most leather items are often black or brown. To me it is a classic material but if skilfully used can be transformed into something modern and trendy. The leather shoes I’m wearing today are a good example of how this can be achieved. The metal hook details and pointed toe gives gives the shoe and bit of an edge and a rock n roll vibe.
