“It’s always about stripping down the functionality of cloth first. And then through exploration, you add other meanings to it. It’s starting from reality, and then the whole process in between is very abstract and very—you don’t care about human, you don’t care about torso—it’s just all about pure exploration, lines and shapes, and then later comes the practical part. I think it’s a really interesting transformation.” —Zane Li, Lii
