PROFILE

He is a nice guy from Taiwan who currently works for a modeling agency in Tokyo while attending a college specializing in fashion. He came to Japan five years ago to study abroad, where he studied Japanese intensively and is currently a student at Bunka Fashion College, where he keeps himself busy. She also plays a role as a bridge between Taiwanese and Japanese fashion culture by advising and supporting Taiwanese brands with which she has a close relationship.

What was your impression when you tried on the special-order items from "Override"?

. "The 6-panel baseball-type cap was easy to match with the item I usually wear often. . The form is smart and the college-style design has a nice American feel. . The size can be adjusted with an adjuster belt, which is nice. It would be nice to arrange it with a badge or a patch!"

Hao, do you have any particular points in mind when you wear hats?

I have always worn my hair short, so I like to wear a cap that makes my face look sharp. If it is a hat, I like to wear it a little shallow to give it a rough look, and if it is a knit cap, on the other hand, I like to wear it deep to give it a wild image. In the street scene, a cap is an indispensable accessory, so it's right to try different ways of wearing it depending on your style.

What is the point of today's outfit?

. "The main feature of the jacket is that it picks up the color of the cap, while also somehow matching the color of the jacket, which is designed with a crazy-colored transition. . I also try to keep a clean and beautiful look without being too loose. I also prefer a slim fit on the bottom. Instead, I like to layer innerwear and use accessories that make a difference so that my outfits do not become too simple!

What do you like about Japan?

. People in Tokyo are kinder and more serious than the general image that people overseas have of them. They are very kind to me at school, and I have learned a lot from them. Of course, the people are kind, but I have also admired Tokyo fashion since I lived in Taiwan, so it is a dream come true to live in the city.

Hao, who is also a student, what are your goals for the future?

. I would be happy if I could operate my own brand of store in this city someday. Taiwanese fashion is still in its infancy and not well known in Japan, so I hope to play a role in conveying such unknown charms to the public. First of all, I would like people to know a lot about me in the world of modeling and fashion, and in the near future, I would like to spread the wonderfulness of Taiwan to as many people as possible".
