SHANGYAN CAI

Raffles Design Institute

I am 18 years old and majoring in fashion design. I am passionate about exploring the expressiveness of garment structure and silhouette language in design. My design style leans towards three-dimensional silhouettes and experimental structures, emphasizing the relationship between clothing, the body, and space. At the same time, I am concerned about natural ecology and sustainable concepts, hoping to convey the power of nature and the aesthetics of life through design. During my studies, I have continuously improved my skills in pattern making, fabric development, and creative practice, and have a strong understanding of overall garment styling and concept expression. I am looking forward to broadening my horizons through this international competition, exchanging ideas with global designers, and enhancing my professional abilities.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
