What is Fashion House?
Raffles University Fashion House is the Raffles University Fashion Design Student Club. The students from 服装设计学士（荣誉学位） and 服装设计大专文凭 will have automatically become a member of the club once they enrolled in the RU’s Fashion programmes.
In this workshop, the president of the fashion house was the moderator while the vice president introduced briefly about the Fashion House to the participants.
What is Fashion Angpao?
Angpao is the direct translation of 红包 – a red packet given by parents or elder relatives during Chinese New Year(CNY). Fashion AngPao was the idea that was created by RU Fashion students when they were given the tasks to organise the workshop. The students combine the concept of origami (Japanese Folded Paper) and AngPao to create a unique AngPao in 2021.
If you are interested in creating a fashion Angpao, you may also follow the live demonstration below ( The video is shot in Chinese as the workshop was conducted in Chinese). After creating the paper dress, you can use different colour papers or fabrics to decorate the paper dress to make it a unique fashion angpao.
The students also shared their study experiences as a Raffles University Fashion Students with the participants. Some of them were sharing the reason they selected Fashion Design Programme and some of them share the benefits and challenges of being a Fashion Design students.
