DL: What kind of design software and equipment do you use in your work?

WYK : I use a variety of tools, including Adobe Photoshop (PS), Adobe Illustrator (Ai), and 3D modelling for prototyping. I also work with laser-cut neoprene and other innovative materials to push the boundaries of traditional fashion design.

DL: What is the role of the color, materials and ambient in design?

WYK : Color, materials, and ambiance are crucial in creating the mood and message of a design. I often use pastel shades and pink to counteract melancholy and anxiety, infusing my designs with a sense of hope and empowerment.

DL: What do you wish people to ask about your design?

WYK : I wish people would ask about the story behind my designs. Fashion is more than just aesthetics—it’s about the emotions, experiences, and messages woven into each piece. I want people to understand how my designs aim to empower and inspire, not just look beautiful.

DL: When you see a new great design or product what comes into your mind?

WYK : When I see a great design, I think about the story and process behind it. I appreciate the creativity, effort and details. It inspires me to keep pushing boundaries and exploring new ideas in my own work.

DL: Who is your ideal design partner? Do you believe in co-design?

WYK : My ideal design partner is someone who shares my value for authenticity and empowerment. I believe in co-design because collaboration brings fresh perspectives and ideas. Working with others, whether they’re designers, artists, or technologists, allows me to create more impactful and innovative designs.
