Brand ：BNS

We like digging into all those that are unconventional, unreasonable, unlikely to happen or exist; anything that is uncertain or unpredictable amazes us in our fashion design. Each step we take along the way of exploration leads us to more interesting ideas. What we want to create is something “fascinating”, something featured with exceptional optimism, self-awareness, wit and humour.
