Hi, I’m Mengting Lu. I’m a fashion designer with end-to-end experience in concept, development, and delivery of wearable collections. I’ve led sub-labels, guided seasonal direction, and translated consumer insights into market-ready products across outerwear, denim, and knitwear, with a focus on sustainable materials and functional design. I enjoy collaborating across teams—design, production, sourcing, and media—to deliver cohesive brand stories and compelling product presentations. My experience spans ICICLE, NEIWAI, and JASON WU, including NYFW collaboration and cross-border design alignment.
