I would like to thank Melco and CPTTM for creating this wonderful opportunity for local fashion designers to get creative with the use of sustainable materials to design a uniform that is aligned with the Melco brand in terms of aesthetics, design concept, practicality and comfort. It’s been an invaluable learning opportunity for myself, and I’m sure for fellow participants; enabling us the chance to exchange creative ideas and the opportunity to get to know the practical ins-and-outs of custom fashion design.”
