[Manu Melwani, Owner, Sams Tailor]: (English)
I think that for Chinese this is a very good competition. For Europe, it is also good to understand Chinas culture.

Manu says he loves Chinese culture and is impressed by its deep cultural meanings

[Manu Melwani, Owner, Sams Tailor]: (English)
I know about it (Han Couture), but I do not know they (Chinese) have such rich knowledge in this area.

Manu believes that Han couture will become more popular in the years to come.

[Manu Melwani, Owner, Sams Tailor]: (English)
I think the Han Couture design is very good. I like it and find it very fashionable. I think that Han Couture will be well-known in four to five years. Later in Europe, Paris, Italy, everyone will know about Han couture.
