What excites me about fashion is its ability to tell stories. It's a deeply personal form of expression that lets us share who we are and what we feel. I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in fashion, exploring new ways to express ideas and connect with others though what we wear.
Julian Tong is a forward-thinking fashion design student with a focus on womenswear design. Skilled in 3D rendering, technical drawing, pattern making, and sewing. Currently studying at the University of Minnesota College of Design.
