I am very honoured to be invited as a special guest to MDIS’s series of Open House events! One of which is the fashion design workshops! Being in a workshop like this actually strongly inspired me to share with you guys some experience of my own…
Being part in the fashion design workshop inspired me a lot and it also made me reflect on my journey as a student.
Back in my secondary school days, due to a series of unfortunate events, I made a huge a mistake of enrolling into a course that wasn’t of my choice. I had zero interest in the course, it was industrial related engineering course, I swear I suffered for 4.5 years... I retained for 1 and a half year…
That is how horrifying it was, if you make the wrong decision in your major/course in tertiary studies.
Therefore I urge all of you, whoever is reading my post right now, and those of you who are at the crossroads of deciding which school and which course to take… MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. Or else you will end up like me. Lol.
I always wanted to be in the design, arts and creative scene, there’s where my true heart belongs.
I have a blogger friend, Linda Hao, the creator of YESAH.
I always super love her, her fashion design capabilities, she has an indie fashion sense and best of all things and places she is exposed to.
Becoming a fashion student at MDIS will bring you there… You also get to be in fashion show backstage, like… Singapore Fashion Week! Get to meet the big designers and top models!♥
All the exposure that MDIS has offered in the past years is magnificent.
Fashion design course is not just held in the school, the students are brought to the industry and experience real life fashion activities that will give them maximum possibilities to showcase their talents.
Dr. Anna Lottersberger, Head of School of Fashion and Design, showed us that MDIS has collaborated with many events and exhibitions that displayed the student designs.
Students got to work with many industry partners and went overseas for field trips to learn about international markets and meet famous designers (one of which is to Hong Kong to the Asian HQ of D&G)!!
The workshop was very useful for all those who wanted to learn how to build their own fashion portfolio!
I got hands on and made a short one myself!
It’s not as hard as you think and it’s actually very fun, like a scrap book/lookbook of styles and fashion ideas that we have!
We got to interact with the lecturers and could ask them questions as we were curious about the course!!
For those who are interested in a career in fashion! Why not considering MDIS?
Remember pick the right course!!! Don’t make the same mistake as I did!!
That’s me trying on one of the masterpieces designed by a degree student! LOVE IT! They made these awesome pieces themselves!! Can i bring this home?!
And if you hold an A level cert or local Poly diploma, you can gain direct entry to the 2 degree programmes.
