My blazer is rare because it is purple and short-sleeved. Silk socks are always getting ripped, and I don't want to waste them so I tried to make my tights like this. I think fashion will be more important to people in the future. Especially people in cities. They earn lots of money and want a quality life. Therefore, they will spend a lot on clothes to make them look good.

I bought my shoes in Lan Kwai Fong because they are beautiful. I love music. I am keen on metal, pop, rock, and new metal rock. My favorite bands are Limpbizkit and and Linkin Park. I got my hairstyle from my friend who is studying Image Design at HKDI.  It is called airplane hair. It's a style from the 70s.

I think a beautiful heart is much more important than a good looking appearance.  I shoot both digital and film. Taking photos of people with emotions has been a challenge to me lately.

I bought my beautiful sweater two months ago. I like taking photos because it is interesting.

I bought my pants because I like the leopard pattern. I like purple. I just simply pick my outfits from my wardrobe everyday. I then mix and match so it looks good on me. I get my inspiration from reading books and dreaming.

I like dying my hair in gold, blue, black and red. Dying your hair can give people a fresh look and it makes me look not tired. I like skinny and high end fashion. I think fashion isn't really important to me. My friends all dress similar to me.

Simple and natural is one of my styles. I suggest reading Elle for fashion newcomers because there are a lot of pictures and brands that can be easy to learn. I don't think Hong Kong is a good place for the fashion industry since everyone copies trends instead of having their own style. When I wear something that is different from others, they simply consider my look as weird or freaky. I hope I can hold some competitions for people who can express their real style. I want to be a buyer in the future to express my creativity and have better time control. I think fashion in the USA has become more commercial nowadays. I like the UK.

I consider my style office wear today. Fashion is important to me because it makes me look beautiful and sharp.  Yahoo online shopping website and the Japanese magazine ViVi are my inspiration. I like vintage stuff. My favorite things to buy are earrings and rings because of the details.

I bought my animal print cardigan because it is special. There are zebras, elephants and tigers on my cardigan but not my favorite animal, a giraffe. I love vintage style. I want to a magazine editor because I like writing and editing.

I wear clothes depending on my mood. My mood is sweet today. That is why I wear pink. I would describe this style as princess.  Fashion is important to me because it turns me into a pretty girl. I have been with my boyfriend for three years and eight months. I think he is ugly. I want him to be interested in fashion because it can make him handsome.

I just randomly chose my clothes from the wardrobe today. I always wear black, gray and dark blue clothes.  I like shorts,  pants and skirts more than long dresses.  I am inspired by the things around me.  Normally, I won't tie up my hair but I do it because I just got a new hairstyle a few days ago.  After I graduate I want to be an air hostess to broaden my eyesight.

I bought my cape because it is suitable for my size and comfortable to wear. It is fashionable and a must buy item for this season. I decide my styles by the different seasons. In the summer I like casual wear, which is comfortable. In the winter I like layers because it can keep me warm. I want to be a make up stylist for a high end fashion magazine in the future. I find that make up models are mostly Westerners. I think it is not practical for Asians, since the shape of our face is different.  I think make up is important because it can make people look more pretty and give them more confidence.

Fashion Design and Development

I don't like vintage that much. Normally I just wear mix and match and weird things. I just found these pants and sweater in my closet so I wore them today. The pants and shirt together only cost $30HK. My shoes are Burberry. They are from my father who bought them a long time ago. I love minimalism. Landscapes inspire me.

I bought my cape from the mainland China website taobao.com  I like shopping at stores more than on websites because I can see the shape of the clothing. My pants are from Monki. I am studying fashion because I love drawing and making clothes. Everything inspires me.

Milk

Design and Visual Communication

I like vintage and countryside style. I love carrot pants and like to look at Japanese websites for inspiration. I love light colors and the material cotton. I always go shopping at Muji. I want to be a graphic designer in the future.

I don't really like fashion. I wear hip hop baggy and emo style. Skateboarding doesn't affect my style. People wear a suit and go skateboarding. I like reading comic books and magazines about skateboarding. I bought my skate shoes because the material lasts long, the bottoms are flat and the tongue is thick, so I won't twist my ankle.

Our design project is about freedom and hope. The feathers represent birds and the scales represent fish. The flowers represent nature. The bird and fish are injured and want to go home, but they can't. They want freedom.
