Anke Jongejan

Anke Jongejan is a fashion designer, researcher and senior lecturer at HKU’s Fashion department where she educates students on sustainability and research practices. She had to wait until after graduating an MA in Fashion Design before admitting that her interest in fashion does not concern the garments itself but the ‘system’ of fashion. Anke’s company, Fashion Futures, channels her impatience with the slow progress of innovation in fashion into speculative design. Education has been an integral part of her practice since graduation, developing and exchanging research methods with design students and colleagues. Website: http://www.fashionfutures.org
