Young creators turn abstract ideas into tangible, wearable fashion works

Fashion section curator Meng Yueming, an award-winning figure in international fashion, emphasizes that the most crucial aspect of teaching is the irreplaceability of students' conceptual expression.

Once concepts are established, the mentoring team provides technical support, including 3D printing, to help translate abstract ideas into tangible fashion works.

According to Hao Bin, the president of Sphinx International Art Education, a student exhibition of this scale and level of completion requires at least a month's preparation in many other countries. For international tutors who have long collaborated with SFK, the continuous emergence of creativity among young Chinese artists remains a constant source of surprise.

Through sustained experimentation and reflection, these young creators search for ways to connect with the world.

Meng concludes that what this course ultimately hopes students will retain is their original creative intention — to continue creating amid ever-shifting fashion and art contexts and to allow their work to engage with a wider world.
