54 Polytechnic fashion design postgraduates visited our school and gave a design workshop to our Creative Fashion Design students on 2nd December, 2005. Sponsored by Lam Tai Fai Charitable Foundation Fund for their postgraduate studies in Hong Kong Polytechnic University, they are fashion design experts and are working in the top universities in mainland China including Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology as professors and senior lecturers. They were invited by our school supervisor Mr Lam Tai Fai to share their valuable experiences with our students. |
The design workshop was a one-on-one format. One guest teacher tutored one CFD student. They discussed a project named "The Wardrobe of Yau Mai Tei". At the moment, students were doing the design part and looking for advisors. The workshop was just the right time for them. 4 representatives of CFD students presented their research to the guest teachers in Putonghua first. Then they started the one hour face- to-face consultation. Students produced their design drafts and explained their ideas to the teachers. The guest teachers presented their suggestions and imparted relevant knowledge to our students. They also arranged a 15- minute Q&A session. One 5A2 student, CHAN Man Ting, asked Xiao Wen Ling, vice-chair of the Textile and Fashion Design Department of Tsinghua University the gateway for Hong Kong fashion design students to enter Tsinghua University.
Three awards were created to stimulate students' study. There were 「Best of Creativity」, 「Best of Colour Application」 and 「Best of fashion Silhouette Application」. 5 teachers from 5 different universities formed the panel of judges. The list of awardees is as below:
