[post_content] => Resistance to stereotypes is my design goal.
When I was a small boy growing up in China, I often wore dresses that were lovingly hand made by my late grandmother. This was radical by the standards of the time when males were encouraged to be manly. It is unclear why she made these dresses for me. Maybe I asked her to or perhaps she was ahead of her time and was simply an enlightened and bold pioneer. I guess I’ll never know.
Like my grandmother, I want to challenge the perpetuation of stereotypes and build a land where anything is possible - where all cultures and genders can walk freely and wear whatever they choose.
