Chaoying Han completed her Bachelor of Fashion in China before moving to Melbourne to undertake her Masters of Fashion (Design) at RMIT.. Whilst undertaking her Bachelor she developed an interest in traditional Chinese costume, specifically the approach to pattern drafting/ cutting and traditional silhouettes. Chaoying became interested in how these traditional garment forms and accessories might serve new functions within contemporary life. Through her masters collection she aims to eliminate perceived boundaries between a traditional Chinese wardrobe and a modern one, creating a collection of garments that through materiality, hardware and detail function effectively within daily life.
