Flowers, facial expressions, feathers－you name it, whatever you want can be the theme of a hat, or specifically, unique headwear under the magic of Sui Yida's hands.
Sui, 34, a millinery designer, celebrates the vitality of life with his creativity and a hint of "romanticism at the last phase before the end of the world".
"Life should be exuberant, not stagnant," exclaims Sui, as he flamboyantly sets out his principle of design.
In April, Sui launched his 2020 spring and summer collection, including more than 20 hats designed to commemorate mankind's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new collection is inspired by epic science-fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey released in 1968. Sui thinks the hat shapes of the 1960s were inspired by the space race and the then "looming, but unknown" 21st century.
"Today we are like people in the 1960s who, like them, look forward to, but also worry about, the future," he says.
