Experience

The River Woods project was a challenging but valuable experience. By reusing a pair of jeans, I learned to think creatively with existing materials and discovered my passion for sustainable fashion. The riverchart analysis deepened my understanding of the production chain, while cost calculation gave me a practical perspective on the business side of fashion. This project not only improved my technical skills but also strengthened my ability to work effectively in a team. I now feel better prepared for challenges in the fashion industry and look forward to growing further as a designer.
