Q: Why are people afraid of fashion?
It is not safe for them as fashion makes them nervous. Sometimes fashion has bad news for people as they can be criticized by others.
Q: How do you feel about using animal fur in fashion?
Fur is good. It is a very popular in vintage or older fashion. There are many types of animal fur used in fashion. The use of manmade or artificial fur is less expensive and is more cost effective. No animals are harmed and good designs can still be used. More people can wear clothing with fur if artificial fur is used.
Q: How would you describe texture?
In fashion, texture is a type of feeling. Different materials have different textures. From the design, you have inspiration for texture. Texture is important for definition. When you are shopping, you must feel the clothes, so you can tell if the quality of the clothing is good or bad.
Examples of texture include cotton, especially in the summer, e.g. t-shirts (t-zhu) can be used for sports. Silk is another good example of texture. It is not as soft as cotton, but can be very beautiful. Wool is another good example of texture as in sweaters for the winter. The texture in the wool of a sweater must feel right for the cold winter days.
