JEREMY JIANG − WINNER OF MEN'S FOLIO DESIGNER OF THE YEAR 2019
Held in conjunction with the Men's Folio 22nd Anniversary Party on 22 October 2019, the Men's Folio Designer of the Year and Male Model Search 2019 concluded with a bang as designer Jeremy Jiang and model Ng Su Yu were crowned as winners of their respective competition.
"I am deeply honoured to have participated in the competition. I'm grateful for the opportunity to showcase my collection, and I'm glad I won the competition," reflects Jiang. The entire collection, which consisted of six outfits, combines western tailoring with Japanese pattern-making inspired by traditional Kabuki dyes. The win marked the culmination of six months of sketching, construction, and production. Though Jiang has been in regular contact with the Men's Folio team since June 2019, it is this writer's first meeting with the designer. His impression of Jiang – shy and reserved, but he is fully in his element as he dresses Ng for the photoshoot. His eye for detail is apparent from using fabrics of different textures and weights in his outfits. "I specialise in menswear; I pay attention to the silhouettes, pattern-making and try to incorporate interesting details into my garment designs."
DESIGN DAYS
Jiang's journey as a designer began with his enrolment in Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, and he had a stint at the University of East London after. "It was tough for me at the start because I barely knew the basics of sewing," recalls Jiang "It took me years of practice and mentoring. However, I believe that practice is more important than talent. Talent alone is not enough to attain your dreams – you need both practice and hard work to succeed."
