The Mesmerizing Work of Jae Lai

I’m from Taipei, Taiwan and prior to pursuing fashion in NYC, I graduated with a BA in English literature, which I think has deeply affected my approach to visual research and sources of conceptual inspiration. My penchant for Greek mythology and filmic narratives are especially evident in my work. I find that being an artist mostly stems from having the desire for storytelling, and I’m constantly inspired by the stylish technicolor of Jacques Demy and the beautiful vulnerability of Sofia Coppola.
