Do you have any advice for aspiring fashion designers:
I think hard working and passionate of what you are doing is a must. a lot of people had said it because it's true. Also, don't expect instant success,it takes a long time to get there. If you just focus on what you love to do, in time when opportunity comes in your way, do not hesitate to take your chances.

What trend do you see coming for next year:
Close fitting clothes been here for awhile. I think more comfortable, easy fitting clothes are on the way. More natural tones and colors from nature. Loud colors will gradually out. We may even have a new color to replace black?! You never know.
