Kingston School of Art

Graduate Diploma in Creative Practice

I was fortunate to be exposed to the field of fashion design during my higher education in China, under the guidance of my mentor. Upon completion of my undergraduate studies, I made a resolute decision to pursue a postgraduate course in fashion design at Kingston University in the United Kingdom. Upon entering the institution, I observed that numerous platforms were advocating the concept of sustainable development to society. In conjunction with my affinity for natural elements, I endeavored to utilize natural pigments for tie-dye clothing design. This time, I intend to experiment with novel materials for garment production.

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.
