Thank You!!

Yes! It’s an haute couture design!

Because the stripe matching of the top is to difficult to

do in mass production! Good

start!

NextNext

Sorry, it’s a wrong choice! Asexual is a RTW (Ready to Wear)

collection. The construction is not that complicated.

BackBack

Nope, not the answer! The

silhouette of Monastic Silence are so acceptable and

can be readily worn and not be the

center of attention.

BackBack

Correct again! Can you see

yourself wearing those metal hoods in the streets?!

Keep going!

NextNext

Very good! The designs are so theatrical! The use of sheer

fabrics also ads-up to its stage

look!

NextNext

Not the answer. Sunburst’s design is so common and you can

easily seen it in designer’s shop and

elsewhere.
