.Looking at the images of LII's spring 2025 selection, you might be shocked to discover the ideas was Michael Haneke flicks. "The characters remain in a really professional or a very rigorous area, but after that in some way there's a breakthrough or even a break aspect that basically comes to be the plot of the movie," the professional Zane Li pointed out in the Chinatown workshop where he was actually presenting his assortment. "I am actually definitely enticed by the magnitude of people in an official area or in a professional room so I assumed, 'OK, allow's think of just how to reverse evening dress.'"
