The 2022 China Graduate Fashion Week concluded recently. The School of Design Art of XMUT won the Talent Cultivation Achievement Award. Zhang Xiaoyu, a graduate of the class of 2022 majoring in Fashion and Apparel Design, won the women's fashion design award. The School of Design Art won the men's fashion design award last year.
The 70 sets of clothing works that participated in the special show were all designed by the 2022 graduates of the Fashion and Fashion Design Program. The works showed high standards in integrity, fashion, creativity and marketability. The theme of this year's graduation design of the Fashion and Apparel Design Program is “Profession & Innovation” -- aiming to stimulate students to pursue innovation on the basis of strict professional training. Graduates followed closely the three subjects of “professional frontier”, “industry feature” and “regional culture”, and combined market demand with the regional maritime feature.
The design works in the show is the positive result of the guidance of XMUT "pro-industry and internationalization", relying on regional industrial advantages and combining industry, education and research. The School of Design Art carries out innovative talent training models such as "tutor studio system", "project-driven system", "school-enterprise dual mentoring system" and "Fujian and Taiwan Joint Training Project" to improve students' practical ability in various ways.
The school has established cooperative relations with many well-known enterprises such as Wanli Stone, Intretech, and Anta Group, and built off-campus internship and training bases. As working partners, they have achieved remarkable results in the field of profession and university cooperation.
