smiley7 Biết sắp nghe thấy ở "I decided to focus on a rather small area of clothing and that's pockets."

smiley20 Nghe được "I chose pockets for two reasons, really. We all have them – in jeans, jackets, coats, for example – and even though we often carry bags or briefcases as well, nothing is quite as convenient as being able to pop your phone or credit card into your pocket. Yet, I suspect that, other than that, people don't really think about pockets too much and they're rather overlooked as a fashion item."
