with too many brands?<br />
ALL YUZHE<br />
shiny black sports jacket, short sleeve red tartan shirt,<br />
black printed tee, twisted jeans with hand painting<br />
YS: No, I do not think so. As long as the<br />
brand as their unique view and story then<br />
I think it’s ok.<br />
DO: If you could collaborate with one<br />
designer, who would it be and what would<br />
you create together?<br />
AL: Not a designer as such, but Muji is<br />
a brand we would love to work with. I<br />
think combining their minimalism and<br />
functionality with our unique prints<br />
and embroidery patterns should be very<br />
interesting. We would love to create<br />
stationery and furniture with Muji.<br />
DO: What do you hope to achieve with this<br />
brand?<br />
YS: We do not have a grand plan, simply,<br />
we hope to find and connect with people<br />
that like our style and appreciate the ideas<br />
we stand for.<br />
DO: Would you ever design anything other than clothing and accessories?<br />
DO: What made you want to go into the<br />
world of fashion?<br />
YS: It was always my aim to go into the<br />
fashion or art world.AL: I use to study<br />
economics and business, but during<br />
an exchange year I took some fashion<br />
management courses in Hong Kong. I<br />
enjoyed it and decided to study further.<br />
AL: Maybe. We would like to do stationary and furniture, as discussed the collaboration with Muji.<br />
DO: What made you realise fashion wasn’t just a hobby and it could be a job?<br />
YS: Not sure really, I have been studying and working in arts and fashion all my life; it just seems normal that<br />
fashion would be part of working life.<br />
DO: What made you want to start a clothing brand?<br />
YS: We just had a strong idea of what we wanted to create and thought “why not?”<br />
