About Jia Wen

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safes, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary…”- Cecil Beaton





Design to Jia Wen, is a form of creative expression that holds no boundaries, no formatting and has no true definition. Through her learning journey in Fashion Design, Jia Wen wishes to explore and venture into garments that are highly experimental, refined in detailing, and immaculately constructed. She believes the world is taking shape such that the space to break free from boundaries in fashion are suppressed due to the importance of commercial value and the business aspect of the industry. With a creative mind and amazing eye for detail, Jia Wen believes this:

"I may not change how the world should think about fashion and apparels but I would definitely most love to inspire others through it.



About Jia Wen's Graduate Collection



“An undefined beauty, not conformed to boundaries”

Ugly. Beautiful is a series of story-telling apparels that is experimental, highly emphasizing on drapes with unusual fabrications and textures in new cuttings and silhouettes. It is a collection first inspired by collapsing houses and its textures; matters that rust, mould or have decayed- basically anything that changes in shape, form, color and texture with time.







Ugly. Beautiful is all about an unconventional form of beauty that is inspired by the raw, rugged and unpolished matters that are present in our everyday surroundings in which we often tend to overlook.

Watch out for Jia Wen's collection and more at Wardroblings 2009.
