"I am actually really attracted due to the magnitude of folks in a formal location or even in an official area so I believed, 'OK, permit's deal with just how to reverse evening dress.'" The lookbook opened up with a type of bandeau/cape which is Li's variation of the classic coat shrug off. Apart from in his case he took the form of a Tee shirts as well as linked the sleeves to twist around the physical body.
