About/ Press

 
 
 

My name is Judy Tang and I’m an emerging artist and a fashion designer currently based in Hong Kong.

Influenced by my creative foundations in pencil-and-paper illustration, my work aims to exemplify the inseparability of fashion and art. My designs are, in essence, a distillation of the abstract into the physical — embodiments of free-flowing creativity in concrete form. As an avid live drawer, my fascination with movement and the human form also features heavily in my work.

I graduated from Ravensbourne University London with a BA (Hons.) Fashion Design degree in 2020. During my time there, I completed several internships and produced many works, the best of which are displayed on this site.

If you’d like a more comprehensive overview of my experiences or more examples of my work, feel free to check out my LinkedIn and Instagram, or contact me at zudibyjudytang@gmail.com.

Global Talents Digital by Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia (MBFW Russia) and Russia Fashion Council

This was an international collaboration focusing on ethical fashion and the promotion of sustainability, upcycling, and recycling in the apparel industry. During September 4th to 6th of MBFW Russia, I presented my collection digitally in the form of a short video (screenshots of which can be seen above), which was live streamed on vogue italia, Vouge Russia, ELLE czech and 18 more international platforms. Additionally, I presented a piece of craftwork in which I turned a shirt and a rubber band into a bag, demonstrating the possibilities of creative up-cycling.

I believe less is more. As such, I hope to help usher in a new age of minimalism -- one defined not by corporate trends and capital interests, but by a grassroots-level appreciation for sustainable and holistic living. Through the proliferation and adoption of true minimalist philosophy at the individual level, I hope that, collectively, we can begin to see our clothes not as material products to chase for vanity’s sake, but as extensions of our natural being. In doing so, our industry will progress towards a more sustainable future.
