Transcript excerpt

Name is Yitai, and I'm a self taught fashion designer. This is day four of me showcasing my fashion designs. This is a fine China shirtwear fleece I designed. It was inspired by a white and blue porcelain that my grandparents had at their house. When they passed away, I want to design a jacket that celebrated my grandparents and the memories we shared. This jacket is made from a fleece fabric and it's entirely embroidered, and the zipper is actually made from a real leaf. This design is significant to me because it cherishes my memories with my grandparents and celebrates my Chinese culture through a wearable fashion design.
