Transcript excerpt

Name is Itai, and I'm a self taught fashion designer. And this is day three of me showcasing my fashion designs. I'm a huge Studio Ghibli nerd, and my favorite film is Howl's Moving Castle. In the film, there was a scene where Howl takes Sophie into his secret garden, and it was such a beautiful scene that I decided to design a sweater inspired by it. This sweater holds a special place in my heart because it celebrates my favorite anime film better on a wearable piece of clothing, and the entire sweater is embroidered.
