Independently design individual garments or small collections, and assist senior designers in managing small projects or sub-collections.

Assist senior designers in completing series design drafts and flat designs, as well as assist pattern makers and sample makers in making sample garments, and in creating or adjusting details such as prints, patterns, and embroidery

After a 10-month internship, I became a design assistant, helping designers draw sketches, select fabrics, create patterns, and make sample garments

During her internship at Stella McCartney, she assisted designers with sketching, fabric selection, pattern making, and sample garment production, learning the design process and garment construction techniques

The skills and benefits gained from joining Moving Image and Experimental Animation United can be broadly categorized into three areas: professional skills, creative abilities, and soft skills. These are particularly helpful for fashion designers or anyone who wants to create more impactful visual works.

At the Business of Fashion Society, I not only improved my design skills, but also gained a better understanding of the business operations of the fashion industry. It provided me with opportunities to combine theory and practice, as well as to showcase and promote my work.
