Ellen Lund elaborates on the textile processes, “The textile design process was more fascinating than I had hoped for. Being able to see all stages from dying thread, grouping threads to creating a pattern, to the weaving process, was amazing. The specific detail and time that it takes to create these fabrics gave me a level of appreciation and respect for the process that I had not anticipated.” Cynthia Chong describes her experience, “Japan was always a dream destination since childhood, with an interest in Japanese art, food, and culture. Being able to experience the business culture, learning about the Japanese traditional textile industry and seeing other fashion graduates work from around the globe, whilst touring the country was really an eye opening experience.”
