SET
BE-YOU
“This set includes 2 items with simple style but still be elegant and compelling. This is also a message to Kuan Lin that even when working in an environment full of challenges and difficulties like showbiz, as long as we are ourselves, we will always shine beautifully, since Kuan Lin’s real nature is already unique and wonderful.”
A white shirt is an indispensable item for anyone. Based on Kuan Lin’s figure, ForEd designed the most basic form of shirt, stylizing the collar and the sleeves with contemporary details of European style, using less wrinkle-prone fabric which is perfect for busy-scheduled days with not much time for outfit preparing. This will undoubtedly be a highly-applicable item which is well-suited for different types of activities.

“An elegant pair of trousers is always a necessary item in man’s wardrobe. The special feature of this item lies on the surface of the fabric – the distinctive weaving technique generated peculiar pattern effect for the trousers, which helps to seize the attention despite its simple design. Whether combined with a shirt or a T-shirt, it still shows the decency and exudes the aura of the wearer.”

Tdesigns here currently must be many different types of in our Lin Lin’s wardrobe, but there will
obviously be a room for a winter coat for winter, don’t you think so, Lin Lin? Speaking about this item, it is a coat which possesses the sharp deep colour which is a special characteristic of Autumn-Winter costumes. The coat’s design and details are the ingenious combination of traditional and modern style, and moreover, this coat can easily be mixed and matched with other types of costumes to create a satisfactory outfit. ForEd believes that this will be a useful item for Kuan Lin during the changing of seasons.

idiosyncrasy always provide ForEd Team with the most passionate inspiration in our meetings regarding the designing of outfits. What ForEd always aims for is how to promote this strength of him on such a body shape and a face that can try on a diversity of styles. With the highlight lies on the special pattern “Rain Forest” of ED:ward which runs along the sleeve hems, the dandiness of the shirt combined with Kuan Lin’s idiosyncrasy will even emphasize the perfection and the exquisiteness of the outfit.

name as the guiding light. We developed this symbol from the two parts of character “Lin” (霖) - “Forest” (林) and “Rain” (雨). We get the final symbol when “Forest” and “Rain” unify into a closely connected cube. This symbol’s meaning is the connection between Kuan Lin and his fans. Kuan Lin is the “Rain” – a lasting rain which nurtures the plants, just like the way Kuan Lin motivates the people who love and support him. Regarding “Forest”, it symbolizes we fans – a powerful and persisting united block, always persevere to protect and shelter Kuan Lin, and stay by his side step by step. No matter in which circumstance, the tight connection and empathy between Kuan Lin and his fans will always exist, support and encourage each other, and be the most beautiful emotions that Kuan Lin and his fans want to maintain. ForEd teams hopes that on this important and meaningful 16th birthday of his maturation, he will understand that, above everything else, there are always a countless number of people who always love him, cheer for him and accompany him shoulder to shoulder in this way or another.
