Coffee with … Anais Mak
Have you ever thought about designing clothes for men?
No. I don't think I understand men enough to dress them well.
What was the game app you designed for Colette?
Let me show you! [takes out phone] Colette bought our clothes in the very early stages and the vibe was really good, so I suggested doing this game app for the launch of our SS15 collection. It's called Colette Arcade and is still free to download on the iTunes store. In part one, you need to take off the clothes and all the accessories of the characters. Then in part two, you can also create your own avatar-styling up with Jourden clothes. With Colette, it's always very fun and playful.
Who are your favourite designers?
I really like Ryan Lo-he works in London, but grew up in Hong Kong. He has a really strong Hong Kong influence in his work. Prada has the most influence on me, both commercially and creatively. Miu Miu as well.
And what was the last book you finished reading?
Lately I've been a fan of Japanese culture, so it was Kikujiro to Saki by Kitano Takeshi.
