Kopenhagen Fur scholarships presented in Tsinghua

25 April 2008

23 April was a very special day for the Tsinghua University-Kopenhagen Fur Studio, as it welcomed a group of distinguished guests headed by the Danish Minister of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Mrs. Eva Kjer Hansen. A dozen of Danish and Chinese media came for the event. The much-awaited Kopenhagen Fur Scholarships were presented by the Minister to four fashion design students of excellent academic performance and outstanding potential.

 

The Minister was very impressed by the Tsinghua University-Kopenhagen Fur Studio and the initiatives that have been going on.


- Design is something adding extra but necessary value to the final product, said Eva Kjer Hansen. - I am so glad to see the platform built jointly by Kopenhagen Fur and Tsinghua University to bring the fur design even closer to the young creative minds in China. With the talent from the students here, the world’s best fur material from Denmark and the professional furriers and designers, I am sure all the participants will be able to inspire each other during the process and I am looking forward to see more exciting results from this studio in Vogue, Elle and on the international fashion stages.

- It is truly a great honor for us to receive the final award from the Danish Minister, which definitely will add another precious mark on my CV for my future career, said one of the scholarship winners, Mr. Sun Weizhi. - The program itself offers us a unique opportunity to learn the massive possibilities of working with fur even before we have graduated. Fur is such a luxury material that only few students may have access to.
