Lexi
Chang

At a young age, Lexi was expected to obediently follow the norms of Chinese society; now, she freely releases her suppressed inner self in the world of creative expression. She finds herself fully immersed in this safe yet inspiring space that enables her imagination to build reckless experiments tirelessly while depicting her feelings and thoughts. Lexi's active participation in the art scene has later sparked her interest in fashion using clothing as a form of self-expression. Since then, fashion has become an additional channel to communicate ideas, concepts and aspirations, an essential part of her identity. Her design practice seeks innovative exploration with unconventional objects that embody elements of juxtaposition, versatility, and individuality while adhering to her constant quest for self-identity. In Spring 2020, she completed a semester abroad at Leeds Arts University in England. Through this profound experience, she viewed the world of fashion in a different perspective which stimulated her creativity and embellished her ideas and skills. Upon graduation this summer, Lexi seeks exploration in the realm of strategic pattern making, technical design and product development.
