Leon expressed his excitement for cooperating with ANTA, which established strong connections to the Olympics as an official sponsor of the Chinese delegation and the designer for the podium wear and some sportswear.

Speaking of his Chinese origin, Leon said his mother was from the Chinese mainland and a lot of his storytelling and designs could be traced back to his "Chinese heritage."

"I've tried to bring a lot of my Chinese heritage into the brand (of Opening Ceremony) to really celebrate a lot of Chinese details," he said. "I feel it's an exciting time for me to be Chinese, I really wanted to express that."

Leon expects China's clothing industry will offer reliable support to young Chinese designers, and he believes such "perfect fusion" will make China "one of the most successful fashion countries out there."

The collection designed by Leon and Lim was for current season and would be launched later in September.
