ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø

When I was in Grade 12, I had a discussion with my friend about studying fashion. I liked how hands-on the Fashion Arts program was at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø and decided to enrol in it.

I liked the experience at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø because of the professors and their support. My classmates would help me too if I couldn’t figure something out. I also liked how some of the professors understood my vision and my design language.

The most memorable moment was participating in China’s fashion week through ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø. That is something I will never forget.

I was able to watch the runway show virtually, and it was very exciting to see so many talented designers who had innovative and creative designs. Before entering the show, you had to stand and explain your collection in front of a panel and it was an exciting, yet, nerve-racking feeling. It was very important to show off my work and creativity in such a big way.

I wanted to build on my skill set and I felt as though I had a lot to learn about my own design language.

I saw one of their representatives at a ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø event. I thought it would be an amazing opportunity for me. I knew fashion in the U.K. was big and thought it would be good to study there.

The skills I received at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø were transferable to my degree education. I went into the with knowledge because ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø was so hands-on and focused on technique.

The 7,000-word dissertation was a big transition for me. There is a lot more writing and a deeper analysis required for your work, which I enjoyed a lot. There are similarities to the degree and diploma but the degree is more in-depth and detail-oriented.

It is worth it because you're building on your skills from the diploma, which will make you even more qualified and skilled in your discipline.

Pace yourself and prioritize your time because it’s a lot of work and you don’t want to fall behind. Take breaks, spend time with your family, or go out with your friends. You don’t want to burn out and get mentally tired, so take time for yourself.

I am currently finishing my degree and selling my lookbooks. Since I just finished a degree show, I am just relaxing and looking for any available jobs and apprenticeships. I will be coming back to Canada after my degree.

I'm planning on applying for my master of arts next year. For now, I’m not sure... I hope to release more collections.
