Jetsupha Fugsukjit

Chulalongkorn University

My name is Jetsupha Fugsukjit. I was born in 1996 in Thailand and grew up with my family surrounded by gardens and nature. From an early age, I developed a deep connection to the natural world, which later became one of the strongest influences in my work. Nature continuously inspires the organic forms, textures, and movements that appear throughout my designs. As a fashion designer, I see fashion as a way to express my emotions, perspectives, and inner self. Designing allows me to communicate my thoughts while staying connected to the beauty and unpredictability of nature, where I constantly discover new elements that inspire my creativity. My creative process begins with translating inspiration into artistic concepts through sketching and collage. I then develop these ideas into garments through pattern making and construction. Each design involves different techniques depending on the concept and story behind the piece. One of the signature elements of my work is the use of puffer fabric combined with quilting techniques, creating organic lines inspired by nature. Through texture and form, my work reflects the fluid movement and rhythm found in the natural world.

The way I see

Category: Accessories

Competitions: Thailand

Collection The Way I See is inspired by Temple Grandin, an autistic scientist and animal behavior specialist who revolutionized livestock management through her unique way of thinking. Through visual thinking and a heightened sensitivity to detail, she developed innovative systems that improved animal welfare and movement within farm environments. Her work demonstrates that differences in perception are not limitations, but sources of creativity and care, reflecting the idea that every mind holds its own value. This design concept translates the autistic brain’s way of processing information into fashion through modular structures composed of small interconnected parts, similar to assembling a puzzle. The bags and footwear are distinguished by their designs and patterns, which are adapted from Temple Grandin’s visual perception of farm animals. Different parts and elements of the animals are reinterpreted into graphic forms and patterns throughout the collection. Farm elements are reimagined through textures, surface treatments, and materials such as leather and wood. The collection blends farm-inspired aesthetics with a mid-20th-century cowboy atmosphere, expressing the connection between nature, perception, and design rooted in respect for all living beings.
