Tell us a bit about yourself and mssa ?
I am an emerging artist and textile designer station in Hong Kong . I ♥ all lovely little things, make fun and dreamlike a kid every single day. Here you will find all these creative knitted product inspired from daily life. Have a fabulous and blessed day!!!
How did you get started in doing what you do? How long have you been creating?
I worked as a full time fashion and textile designer since i graduated from my first textile degree in uni to started my first job. Until Sept, 2011, I quite my job after obtained my Master of Fine Arts. From fashion to textile, textile to fine art. This maybe a risk to move on, but i have not regret to do so. I was looking for a dream come true chance to be an artist in my life. I started doing my artwork, but in the same time i also handmade some knitted accessories to sell online to gain money supporting my artist life. Chance came 2 months later, in the end of Oct I was invited to join Tokyo Designer Week 2011 with my knitted accessories. It was happened unexpectedly, haven't got much but only 3-4 products in hand. I push my only brave and energy to work on it. God love me so much, I was lucky enough to have friends to help me, finally, there were total 80 pcs of products were amazingly finished. Packaging was beautiful done, product shoots, catalog, price sheet, display all ready in just 1 week. Without taking an extra breathe i went to Tokyo straight after. This is how i started my brand mssa (formerly named immisssasa)
Where do you get your inspiration?
My background in fashion and fine arts give me a different visual language in designing. I am not only inspired from art history, such as art deco and pop art but also today high fashion. Inspiration is everywhere. All these creative knit products inspired by people, nature, music, poem, book, and anything from daily life.
What was your first creation? Do you have a favourite?
My first creation in knit should be a little scarf i made when i was about 10 years old, I was forced to join at least one saturday hobby club at school. I chose that as i thought of the workload in knit club could be less than the others at school ( It was time, i was hoping no more extra homework in hobby club). However, i ended up as a knit lover after joining knit club. My favourite one is a cushion, which i made for my boyfriend.
What have you created recently?
I am currently trying to explore the possibility on textile accessories. I am trying to mix knit, fashion, textile and jewelry techniques together to create necklaces, bracelets, bangles, clutches, tote bags and bow ties.
