Wei Lin

Model & Educator

Hi, I'm Wei Lin, a 2003 graduate of the Shih Chien University Fashion Design Department. My career has been a blend of fashion, education, and adventure. I started as a professional model with Kaiwo Agency in Taiwan at just 16, which gave me my first real taste of the fashion industry. Inspired by the creativity of British designers like Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, I took a leap and moved to London. There, I enrolled in an English language school and later pursued my master's degree in Womenswear Design at Istituto Marangoni.

London became my second home for 15 years. I joined NEVS Models and had the incredible opportunity to walk for Vivienne Westwood and work with designers like Sir Paul Smith. One of my most memorable experiences was collaborating with David Beckham on an international campaign. Beyond modeling, I worked behind the scenes scouting new talent, coordinating joint projects with designers, and contributing to Asian fashion magazines as a London correspondent.

The pandemic brought me back to Taiwan, where I shifted my focus to teaching. I now work as a guest professor at KSU University in Tainan and as an etiquette instructor at Xue Xue Institute in Taipei. Teaching has been a rewarding way to give back and share the knowledge and experiences that have shaped my journey. My goal is to help my students develop their unique perspectives, build confidence, and step into the world of fashion with curiosity and resilience.

Educational Highlight

Looking back, the most impactful part of my studies was the graduation project. Serving as team leader, I learned what it means to organize, collaborate, and execute a large-scale event. The hands-on experience of managing design, logistics, and presentations gave me practical skills I still use today. Plus, the awards we won for creativity and stage effects helped strengthen my portfolio when applying for my master's program in the UK.
