Nature, Rock'n'Roll, Cosmopolitan
You will find in this collection structured fabrics with alligator animal imprint which express the natural wildness of animals which vibrates sexy through the whole collection. The punky biking boots, some of them are laced and made of the same material as the trousers, bring the touch of lippy-elegant Rock'n'Roll.

The San Francisco raised designer with Chinese-American heritage, is fusing many different influences with a cosmopolitan approach: for a jacket with origami-inspired draping or a scarf with thick Merino dreadlocks he used the wool from the Australian Merino sheeps.
