The Snake Charmer

After working as a photographer in New York for almost 2 decades, Yu Ning made a jump into fashion by starting her own label, Snake Charmer Design. Catering to the carefree and confident woman, the label aims to be more than just a fashion brand but also to create opportunities for artists and seamstresses who aren’t recognized and appreciated enough for their skills. She joins us as she reveals the challenges in starting up her brand and about her mission to empower skilled workers in the fashion industry. Later, Florence Song, Style Lead at Zalora gets creative with the latest craze on art-infused prints.
