I am a MA Womenswear graduate of 2026 from Taiwan with three years of professional experience in womenswear design. My practice focuses on innovative garment construction, supported by a strong sense of narrative and visual storytelling. I am interested in using structure to enhance and reinterpret the female form, translating emotional and cultural references into contemporary womenswear. Curious and open-minded, I am open to design-related roles and creative collaborations.

This collection explores nostalgia through the world of London’s gentlemen’s clubs, reimagined as a distinctly female space. Informed by the presence of women of substance around me, confident, culturally engaged, and quietly powerful, the project transforms symbols of exclusivity and ritual into contemporary womenswear. Through sculptured softness, understated strength, and layered grace, emotional memories are reconstructed into refined forms that articulate an unspoken feminine perspective.
