The full credits are the goldfish Lucian Matis, spilled coffee Ralph Rucci, jelly fish Morales, dragon Givenchy, shark Jo Myung Rye, cassette tape Chongfu, rat Cherry Project and finally the sea slug Edgardo Luegas.
As Coco Chanel said, "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
