ChengLing Lu

Shih Chien University

My name is Lu Chengling, and I am currently a sophomore student at the Fashion Design and Business Management Department of Shih Chien University Kaohsiung Campus. With a strong passion for fashion and creativity, I am dedicated to honing my skills in design, textiles, and business strategies to thrive in the competitive fashion industry. My academic journey has equipped me with foundational knowledge in garment construction, trend forecasting, and retail management, while extracurricular activities like fashion workshops and design competitions have further enriched my practical experience. I am particularly interested in sustainable fashion and innovative textile technologies, aiming to merge eco-conscious practices with modern design aesthetics. Through internships and collaborative projects, I seek to expand my industry network and gain hands-on experience. My goal is to become a versatile fashion professional who can contribute meaningfully to both design innovation and business growth. With a proactive attitude and a keen eye for detail, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development in this dynamic field.

This work is inspired by the devastating phenomenon of landslides. The surface of the bag is designed to mimic the rugged, uneven texture of landslide terrain, creating a tactile reminder of the destructive power of such natural disasters. Through its unique appearance, the bag serves as a powerful warning against the dangers of over-cultivating hillside land, a common cause of soil erosion and landslides. It urges people to reflect on the consequences of unsustainable land use practices that disrupt natural ecosystems and lead to irreversible environmental damage. Beyond its immediate visual and tactile impact, the bag carries a deeper message about the importance of land conservation. It reminds us to take proactive measures to protect vulnerable landscapes before disasters strike, rather than waiting until it is too late. By integrating environmental awareness into everyday objects like bags, this work encourages people to adopt more sustainable habits and advocate for responsible land management. Ultimately, it calls for a shift in mindset—from reactive regret to proactive preservation—emphasizing that safeguarding the earth is a collective responsibility that requires constant attention and care.
