Describe the first time you saw someone wear something beautiful.
As a child, I saw a Chinese female crime TV series named “Red Spider”. Although it was scary, those actresses were very fashionable. I guess it was my first time getting that special feeling when seeing beauty.
As the focus of fashion takes a more inclusive and global perspective, what are hopes?
I hope fashion in the future will become a kind of attitude in life.

I have no fears, only challenges.
When looking at your work, there is so much beauty mixed with humor, is that intentional?
MARRKNULL is a brand that reflects popular culture and social reality. We believe this kind of humor not only exist in China, but also all over the world.
When creating the balance of athleticism and luxury, how do you know when it is a good match?
I think the idea of athleticism or luxury is just the opinion of the media. It’s difficult to say which is the better. I hope there are no more distinctions such as this in the future.
