The University of Fashion is thrilled to announce the winners of our recent Student Spotlight contest!  Kathryn Butler is our winner in the Sewing category, Rafael De Peña takes home the prize in Fashion Art and Chanica Pitaksakorn has won both the Pattern Making and Draping categories.  Congratulations to our winners and thank you to all of our students who entered – we love seeing how you are making the University of Fashion work for you!  In this post, we spotlight Draping and Pattern Making category winner, Chanica Pitaksakorn.

Pattern Making and Draping Winner: Chanica Pitaksakorn

Chanica is not only from Bangkok, Thailand and a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, she is also the winner in two categories of our Student Spotlight contest.  Chanica tells us that she is new to the United States and when her notes from class are not as accurate as she would like, she uses the University of Fashion videos to supplement her learning.  For example, although she notes that she is doing well in her draping class and understands working in 3D form, she used our Straight Skirt Sloper and Princess Bodice video to clear up her remaining questions following class.  We are very impressed with her immaculate final product.
