Ho Sum (Colina)
Kok
(Colina) Ho Sum Kok is a Canadian. All of that is what made China how it is now and what it will become in the future. I want my collection to be the same — it can represent my culture and let people who are not familiar with my culture get to know about it and understand its charm. My value is to stand by my culture and be proud of it. There are so many people who do not know my culture or even look down on my culture, therefore, I want to prove that what we have for thousands of years is not just words, it is our spirit, our flash.
