SOF: What motivated you to start your own line?
Christina Yi: I've always wanted to start my own line because it gives me the creative freedom and allows me to provide a way for people like me to express themselves.
SOF: Where do you find inspiration for your designs?
CY: Inspiration for me is pulled from everything in life. It could be an emotion, shape, texture, literature, history or anything that triggers a deeper connection to me.

SOF: Your designs are bold in their artful feel and edge, yet they're very flattering and incredibly made. What are some tips you have for women in how to wear these pieces, how to style them?
CY: These pieces are made to be worn effortlessly and easy to wear from day to evening. They are easy to mix and match with each other or with whatever else is in your closet. If you want to make a statement, these are the garments you want to style with your favorite heels.
