SCAD Alumni Lei Zhang | The Path of Virtual Fashion Exploration

Experience the virtual world of fashion! Lei Zhang (M.F.A., fashion, 2023) embraced state-of-the-art 3D modeling software as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional manufacturing and the physical space traditional fashion consumes. Zhang has won six international design awards in the past six months and received recognition from the CFDA, The Rookies, and Pierre Cardin Young Designers. Her SCAD graduate thesis collection, Virtual Religion, combines virtual and physical fashion. As a result, Zhang introduced the concept of virtual fashion to a broader audience. #SCADFASHION 2023 debuts live from #SCAD #Atlanta on Friday, May 19, at 8:30 p.m. ET.
