(Relaxnews) - In honor of Paris Menswear Fashion Week (June 27-July 1), Relaxnews catches up with designer Songzio, who will showcase his Spring/Summer 2013 collection July 1. Here, the Korean creative shares his style secrets and sources of inspiration - including moments of being alone in an urban setting.

Relaxnews: Which famous man best represents your Spring/Summer 2013 collection?
Songzio: No one person in particular. He could be a young imaginary master, who is the hero of each Songzio story.

RN: In your opinion what are the three Spring/Summer 2013 wardrobe essentials and why?
S: A comfortable shirt in jersey, basic straight-cut cotton pants and an elegant windbreaker.

RN: Which summer holiday style can't you stand?
S: One look that I see on some women these days that I don't find attractive is short tank tops with low-rise jeans. And the tattoo that is visible in between these two garments is even worse.

RN: Which film best represents your latest collection?
S.: Gregor Jordan's The Informers which highlights the vibrant music, fashion and culture of the 1980s.

RN: Where is the most unusual place you go to seek design inspiration and why?
S: I love the solitude of being in the midst of the crowd and the city. I find it very appealing.

RN: Which object couldn't you live without on holiday?
S: A dressing gown that I wear at home.
