Student Sharing Section Title

As a child, I already enjoyed sewing clothes. I turned my interest into a profession by enrolling at HKDI after my secondary education. This pathway led me to PolyU and aided me in progressively developing my fashion brand and taking it to the global stage! 

Toki Wong
Founder of Kowloon City Boy, a fashion brand

Starting with a Diploma from IVE, I then pursued a Higher Diploma to learn more design knowledge and skills, followed by a Bachelor's degree from the University of Lincoln in the UK. During my studies, I participated in the World Skills Competition and won a gold medal in the "Visual Merchandising" category, helping me move towards becoming a professional designer.

The IVE Diploma of Foundation Studies allowed me to explore various design disciplines and build a strong language foundation. I then progressed to Higher Diploma and Bachelor’s Degree. After graduation, I worked in accessory design and graphic design, applying my knowledge into practice.
