Alumni Tourcation – Let’s Go Behind the “Seams”

On 23 November 2023, the Alumni Affairs Office organised the campus tour “Let’s Go Behind the ‘Seams’”, which received an overwhelming response with over 100 registrations. The event was supported by the School of Fashion and Textiles (SFT), leading a group of alumni to explore the latest fashion tech innovations.

The participants were initially captivated by the new University Square, a symbolic and iconic campus landmark located in front of the Library. They enjoyed the beautiful scenery at this tranquil escape, marking the beginning of their inspiring adventure. 

Representatives from SFT proudly presented their studios and textile workshops, where state-of-the-art facilities are stationed to foster innovative studies and visionary research. The alumni were impressed by the various processes, from spinning to weaving to knitting using the seamless garment machine. Furthermore, SFT remains steadfast in its enduring tradition of leading the fashion industry and creating a societal impact by nurturing students to become future innovative leaders; this mission was clearly demonstrated through the exhibits at the PolyU Fashion Show 2023, which featured a total of 30 collections created by graduating students from the Fashion and Textiles programme.
