She sat in the front row at Gucci runway shows. Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele and American fashion designer Alexander Wang designed costumes for her Growing Wild tour. French designer Jean Paul Gaultier created the wardrobe for her Crazy World tour in 2012.

In 2017, the singer-songwriter hopes to step further out of her comfort zone as a singer.

Like she raps in her new song, Xi Men Shao Nian, which was written by Li and is the last song of the new album, Li says that what matters to her is the original passion for music.
