Theme:

The phrase "Towards the Light" first appeared in the "Ballad of Mount Lu." It symbolizes the pursuit of light and the spirit of seeking beauty. To be born facing the sun is to gain warmth and the power to grow. Moving towards the light means getting closer to the sun and escaping from shadows. When faced with various obstacles, let us dispel the haze and move towards the light.

The designers of the Fashion Institute of Sanda University conducted in-depth research, engaged in active thinking, and created innovative designs around the theme of their graduation works.

Over 80 sets of design works from students were showcased, representing a fusion of fashion and culture, and the integration of clothing and art. The CONSINEE Shanghai Center provided a comprehensive and three-dimensional platform for this display. The knitwear collection, refined through years of collaboration between the college and enterprises, emanated maturity, stability, and avant-garde modernity. All works were personally completed by student designers at the "SIFEC Knitwear Design Talent Training Base." 

Special thanks to CONSINEE Group Limited and Shihong Textile Limited for their support.
