2017 McNally Award for Excellence in the Arts Recipient – Lim Jun Rong Jerome

With a resume that boasts internships with powerhouse brands – Dior, Prada, Swarovski, Harper’s Bazaar, and L’Officiel to name a few – Jerome Lim is in high demand. Fresh from his final semester in LASALLE’s BA(Hons) Fashion Media and Industries Programme, he was engaged by Bulgari as a Marketing Coordinator. Jerome’s relentless zeal stems from his ambition to become a thought leader for local and regional fashion. During his education at LASALLE, he broke new ground on many fronts – being the only fashion student specialising in marketing among a field of designers in the LVMH Challenge 2016, and the only fashion student to represent the College at the Global Design Initiative 2017, where he presented alongside students from Musashino Art University, Japan and Central St Martins, UK, among other renowned international institutions. Highly regarded at school as an industry insider due to his maturity, acknowledged by many as a creative strategist with strong business acumen, Jerome is one to watch as a promising mover and shaker of the fashion field. In his current role at Bulgari, he is co-ordinating the SerpentiForm exhibition at the ArtScience Museum, an exhibition showcasing brand heritage and culture through art, design, and jewellery.
