**Why Collaborate with Rui-Chiu?**
S: I found her picture book "The House with Long Legs" incredibly engaging. The art style isn't meticulously realistic; instead, it possesses a charmingly distorted quality. The "arcade," a distinctive Taiwanese streetscape, is brought to life through the author's memories and feelings, narrated from a first-person perspective where everyday life unfolds naturally within its presence. At that time, I was looking to diversify Southgate's product offerings and had an idea: "What if we could transform feet into arcades, and capture these unique Taiwanese life imprints on socks? That could be quite interesting."

**Public Telephone**
In my elementary school days, when I was often picked up by family, public telephones served as a crucial link when my parents forgot to pick me up. But sometimes, I wouldn't have any change. In those moments, encountering a public phone with its receiver off the hook felt like finding an oasis in the desert.

The embroidery captures the three-dimensional feel of the public telephone keypad. The irregular white oval jacquard pattern symbolizes the tiles on the pillar of the arcade, representing that fortunate encounter. The off-hook receiver signifies a sudden glimmer of hope.
