Transcript excerpt

My name is Yitai and I'm self taught fashion designer. And this is day two of me showcasing my fashion design. This is a sunflower cardigan I made and it was inspired by the blooms in North Dakota. The entire sweater was hand embroidered and takes about two months to make. My intention with this design was to showcase the natural beauty of nature on a wearable piece of clothing. A lot of people have said that they can see Tyler the better in this cardigan. This design holds a special place in my heart because it captures the natural landscape beauty and presents it on a wearable clothing very well. And the fact that each cardigan that was individually hand embroidered makes this design even more special.
