The interesting thing about basketball is that it is played recreationally all over the world in playgrounds where people shoot hoops. Perhaps it is because of this that the look of the game seems to have been able to cross over into streetwear more easily than that of some sports that are confined to more specialist arenas.

I've always had a great interest in sports that embody the values of commitment, hard work and teamwork - all values I strongly believe in.

Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.

Remain true to yourself and your philosophy.

China approaches fashion with strong enthusiasm. And I believe that this enthusiasm can be translated into something interesting, economically speaking. Not only for my brand, but also for other brands.

I have always been fascinated by the values of sport and loved its rituals; in fact, since ancient times sport has been a byword for top physical prowess and spectacular athletic performance.

My aesthetic is about simplicity, elegance, and comfort, whether that is interpreted in a man's suit or a track suit.
