2 Borellas design is a creative combination of Western fashion art and elements from ethnic groups in China. Drawing inspiration from the complex customs of these groups， he incorporated （融入） their features into the dress.

3 “Before designing this dress， we were inspired by Guangxis Zhuang brocade， and it took me two weeks to choose the color to match the belt pattern. It can be said that we （Italy） make the house of the concept but you （China） made the heart of the house，” said Yosmany Larrea， Borellas assistant.

In December 2019， they led a team of Italian designers to Nanning. “I was shocked on arriving at the workshop and I felt like I stepped into a magical land. Weaving skills are good， and Zhuang brocade is beautiful. I also touched the materials. At that time， I hoped to bring Zhuang brocade elements into my design immediately，” Borella said.
