I am Moon, a fashion designer and educator based in New York. I received my MFA fashion design degree at Fashion Institute of Technology (2017-2019), as a first cohort, selected as the winner of the departmental medal from graduate study. I graduated from BFA fashion design from Pratt Institute in New York (2016). When I entered Pratt, I received the highest scholarship, and was selected as a Seemann Burse Fund scholarship recipient by placing in the president's list every semester, and I was awarded Pratt Circle Award and graduated from Pratt with honors. I also won many prestigious competitions from Nike, H&M, Amazon, CFDA, Cotton Inc., Ralph Pucci, NYFW CAAFD, etc.
One of the biggest reasons for studying in MFA was that I had a goal of teaching, and I have a passion to pass on your experiences and expertise to students. My ultimate mission is to challenge myself as a designer and educator who cares about fashion and people, more in realistic ways and to communicate with people.
My experience of teaching has been over 10 years, starting from my age of 21, and many of my students received the highest scholarship from Parsons, Pratt, FIT, SVA, NYU, and Otis.
And the below is the college portfolio prep curriculum.
1. Foundation ( color study/research/drawing/painting techniques)
2. Portfolio based on the foundation development & the art and design major of student's choice, depending on each school's application
3. Creative Clouds App Usage, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Lightroom are the parts of the lessons.
4. Experiment day every month ( Museum Tour/Gallery/ Outside Class)
5. Journal/ Process book based on the study
6. Reading/Writing the essays
The curriculum will be based on the student's desirable career/major/school, I will create the each lesson every week for each student's talent and learning skill, from the foundation based to creative art and design process, so that it can be flexible and creative.
