Li has actually done all the thinking in his concept, including as much influence as he can easily while simultaneously deducting every little thing needless in order that you do not must deal with just about anything when acquiring dressed.Such is actually the magic of Li's work in only 2 collections he has managed to generate an exceptionally deep graphic vocabulary that experiences modern-day as well as stimulating however likewise returns the final vestiges of our pre-millennium tension prior to 9/11, prior to the total domination of the world wide web, prior to artificial intelligence.
