Fashion grad Xinhao Wang in Vogue Runway
Fashion designer Xinhao Wang (BFA 2024) was recently featured in the pages of Vogue Runway for his collection of elegant tennis-inspired menswear, developed as a graduation project at London College of Fashion.
While Xinhao says he learned more about the fashion industry in his post-graduate work, he credits his time at NSCAD for teaching him the characteristics of fabric and how to experiment with textiles as part of the design process.
Xinhao checked in from his latest project to talk more about his time at NSCAD, his latest collection and how his fashion career is evolving.
