"I'm really attracted by the strength of individuals in an official area or even in a professional space so I thought, 'OK, allow's consider exactly how to reverse evening dress.'" The lookbook opened up along with a form of bandeau/cape which is actually Li's model of the classic hair shrug off. Apart from in his situation he took the shape of a Shirts as well as connected the sleeves to twist around the physical body.
