What is your favorite occupation?

The first time when I want to be a fashion designer was when I was in primary school; our teacher gave me many stickers of dress, shoes, and hairs. Also, there are different models, and I can put those stickers on their body and make my collection. I was so excited at that time. I enjoy making a whole outfit like that. Moreover, when I grow older, there are tv shows, is about people in a limited time and use different fabric to make their clothes and design, I was always thinking what would I do if I have a chance to do things like that. Now I felt it is magical during the process of making a garment, and  I can use my ideas and use my hand to make garments.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

A girl who gets in touch to design and make a garment the first time, and I still remember the first piece I made at a studio is a dress. I was inspired by Marie Antoinette, who was the queen of fashion. I did much research and tried different techniques to make it the way I wanted.  I made a corset, popularized in Europe for how it highlights the body. A particular part is one side has three tiers, like a cake. A quote attributed to Antoinette is, “Let them eat cake,” but no one knows for sure if she said this.

Who are your heroes in real life?

When I was a little girl, my friends would often talk about their favorite heroes and asked each other who would be their number one favorite hero. I would always tell them that heroes only exist in stories and movies while my friends turned away disappointed at my dull answer. However, I realized my hero is my dad who loves me and protect me. When my life is in danger, it is my dad who is trying to save me. When that kind of thing happened, strangers are like watching a movie, feeling thrilled but without any action.
