As such, she offers in class professional advice on making hairstyles, arranging colors, choosing clothes, and putting on make-up, demonstrating that at the heart of design is the perfect blend of one’s overall image and the current fashion trend. All in all, people’s confidence gained from their distinctive images and styles offers them opportunities to fully participate in life.
An aficionado of Franz porcelain, Lilly’s niece gives her a delicate Franz piece as a birthday gift every year, which explains why the image professional deeply appreciates delicate, unigue Franz items.
At the end of 2013, she worked with Franz to direct a fashion show in the US, which marked the company’s debut on the American fashion scene.
In that fashion show, both the tuneful music and runway models clad in sumptuous clothes set off the exquisite, trendy Franz’s porcelain show, in an innovative atmosphere where the audience truly experienced a perfect blend of fashion and art, while gaining exposure to the fashionable aspect of Franz porcelain.
