Sam Cho

Degree: BFA Fashion Design

“Hello! I am Sam Cho. My interest in fashion was cultivated in the heart of a tailor’s shop, where I honed my sewing technique and developed a keen eye for detail. This hands-on experience has equipped me with professional tailoring skills and a deep understanding of the intricate relationship between fabric and shape. I have always been fascinated by the world of architecture. Repetition plays a crucial role in my creative process. It’s through this repetitive process that I can perfect my ideas to their finest form.”

Nuo Cheng

Degree: BFA Fashion Design

"My name is Nuo Cheng. I came from China to study fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. It’s been my ambition to pursue a career in fashion design since childhood. Moving to a new country and living in NYC has exposed me to forms of art and beauty that I’ve only dreamed of before. The vibrancy and energy of the city, along with the diverse community of creative friends that I’ve made, have been an endless source of inspiration to me. Designing clothes makes me feel connected to people and to my home away from home.”
