I was the head of the Modern Ethnic Design Centre (MEDC) in Cambodia

"We rise by lifting others!"

I worked in a social project here in Phnom Penh to teach local designer about European trends, pattern making, identifying international trends, developing collections, implementing foto shootings, manufacturing, marketing and sales, textile technology, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and more...

The collections are done / Fashion Show

All students provided tremendous work. 5 students got the opportunity to present and sell their collections in Berlin and 3 of them got an invitation from Messe Frankfurt to show their collections in Paris.

Congratulation to one of my students Mr. Min Yusuf. His collection had caught the eyes of many viewers and made headline on PNN News Cambodia.

I am very proud of him and wish him and all the other participants the best for their further successful development.
