Tell us a little bit about your background and how you got started in the fashion industry.
I started long time ago as a Chinese commercial model. I also did some fashion editing. So, that is my relation with fashion. I studied sociology. After that, I went to work and did a lot of communication projects at the city of Rotterdam. So when my son was born with a left cleft lip, I was thinking about the way to take all the negative energy away from him. I wanted people to look at him like a perfect boy, like any mother would look at her son. My message is “perfect because of imperfections”. I was really working on making designs that would really fit my son and make him proud, as well as being confident about himself.
