Personal Statement Fashion Design is like a shining yet mysterious star, pinpointing my life path and pushing me forward to success. When I was child, I obsessed in handicraft which which have a great magical powers to inspire me . This realization has kept me in constant excitement, I am enamored of is the hand-made work that can fulfill my aspirations for life. Having a penchant for making handicraft and drawing as early as my childhood, I have devoted considerable amount of time and energy to it. This impulse toward artistic creativity nurtured deep inside me a kind of determination, that my prospective career must be connected to art. Paper folding is the initial thinking to inspire me who enter into fashion design. Four years ago, when I went to my university, I chose to specialize in Fashion Design at ChangZhou Textile university without any hesitation. I have been awarded the scholarship in three consecutive years in my university, some of design that it has been displayed in the artwork exhibition. Due to two years of internship and two years of full-time work, it makes me realize that I need to enrich my design concept. Now,I am learning pre-master course in Cambridge school of visual and performance Arts. As I delved deeper into my studies, my interest in this specialty increased correspondingly and I was fascinated by almost every course related to this specialty, such as Textiles design, Artifact design,Fashion accessory design, etc. I think that it is a good experience which could expand my design perspective to design. I have long yearned for the strict academic ambiance , creativity and reputation. My experience at your esteemed university is bound to widen my ken of knowledge, enrich my life, and infuse into me inspiring concepts of modern designing.
