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.
