Award-winning 'East Meets West' Dress

As the Winner of the 'Travel Broadens the Mind' competition set by the Business Confucius Institute at the University of Leeds, my winning design was made and I was sent on an all-expenses-paid trip to Beijing and Xi'an to collaborate with the Beijing Institute of Fashion and Technology and Confucius Institute at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE). With the support of the Business Confucius Institute, I single-handedly organised a series of fashion shows to promote my award-winning dress as part of the celebrations for Chinese New Year. With fashion shows at the Royal Armouries Museum and Leeds Town Hall, I was able to secure media coverage from the Yorkshire Evening Post, Made in Leeds TV, The Gryphon, and Amplified Magazine.
