Shang En Lin

Ling Tung University

I am a fashion design student with a strong focus on material exploration and leather craftsmanship. In my creative practice, I am particularly fascinated by the transformation and dialogue between different materials. Through the reconstruction of structure, texture, and detail, I seek to expand the expressive possibilities of fashion. Sustainability is a core element of my design approach. I pay close attention to the origin and life cycle of materials, and I actively incorporate concepts such as upcycling, reconstruction, and low-impact processes into my work. My goal is to create designs that are not only aesthetically compelling but also responsive to contemporary environmental concerns. I am highly self-disciplined and able to maintain focus and consistency throughout the creative process. At the same time, I am deeply engaged with social issues, often translating my observations into design language. I see fashion as a medium to express perspectives and provoke thought. For me, design is not merely about form, but an ongoing process of questioning and pushing boundaries.

發現記憶中的畫面在現實裡重映——眼前的景色、遭遇的事物、他人的對話,彷彿一再重複上演。於朦朧的片段中追尋記憶的輪廓,對那些模糊卻又真切的畫面感到莫名熟悉,反覆循環,揮之不去。 I discover scenes once held in memory replaying themselves in reality—the landscapes before my eyes, the things I encounter, the conversations of others, as if repeating again and again. Within these hazy fragments, I search for the outline of memory, feeling an uncanny familiarity toward images that are both blurred and vivid, recurring endlessly and refusing to fade.
