Raffles Jakarta 3rd Year Fashion Designs traveled to Guangzhou, China's fabrics and accessories market, for their Final Year Collection fabric sourcing and buying field trip. This fabric-buying trip is designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and create memorable learning experiences for fashion students outside the confines of the classroom.

 

This fabric market is known as one of the largest textile-trading regions in China. Clusters of textile-related wholesale centers with thousands of showrooms, shops, and textile manufacturing facilities at various scales populate it. Strolling through the area's streets and vast wholesale malls inevitably brings about a whole new appreciation of the scale of the global textiles industry.

 

This is an invaluable opportunity for fashion design students to gain practical experience, network with industry professionals, and expand their creative horizons. The trip is a transformative experience that prepares students for careers in the fashion industry.
