Lawrence Chiu, professional flutist and composer, performing in the twisted shirt.

"It's a shirt that you can immediately see is different. And for the audience, when they see us wear it on stage, they can immediately tell - this is not a typical performance."


"The clothes are simple, but not so simple. There's something to them you can only know once you put them on."

"I would describe the clothes as - unordinary."
