sydney's concept stores: incu

As opposed to Cara&Co, Incu has a younger and easier appeal. Incu is keen on communicating the brand culture to the industry and customer, and hence attracts more and more young talents. Many young customers in my store read Incu's blog and knows who is the label's director of the year.  Incu's cool casual style suits not only the young ones but almost everyone.

Right after I took the job at Ck Calvin Klein, I got a chance of interviewing by Cara&Co Sydney store.  Being known as the world's best 10 retail stores, Cara&Co not only presents the most creative designs worldwide but also engaging with charity. Most recently in March, Cara&Co had an exhibition auction in the Sydney Westfield store supporting The Sound World Foundation. aims to give deaf children from low income families a chance to hear the world.

generation Y designers - Mary Katrantzou

 
Mary Katrantzou, my imaginary competitor. Her garment shape is extremely simple, and mostly woven. There is lacking a sense of movement in the design. Both she and IVH designs with photoshop. Photoshop can generate 2.5D, almost 3D-like imagery. My goal is to go beyond that boundary and design real 3D imagery with 3D software.
