What made you fall in love with fashion?

SEIDAI, how do you see your own identity?

SEIDAI:I do not lie to myself, but just be myself. Instead of worrying about other people or trends, I trust my intuition and try to wear clothes in colors I like, watch movies I like, and listen to music I like. That's how I pursue my own personality.
