BIO

Dr Yu-Lun Eve Lin (They/Them) is a multidisciplinary creative practitioner whose work moves fluidly across digital fashion, illustration, ephemera, fictional folios, embroidery, accessories, and fashion design. Trained at Central Saint Martins (BA and MA Fashion Womenswear, 2004–2009) and later completing a PhD at the Royal College of Art in 2025, Eve’s practice is rooted in an attentive approach to making—where line, material, narrative, and craft converge.

​

Recognised early in their career as a Taiwan NewGen Designer (2011, 2013, 2014), Eve has continued to expand their practice beyond conventional fashion design, developing a distinctive visual language that blends hand-drawn detail, digital experimentation, and story-driven artefacts. Their creative work has been acknowledged internationally, securing Red Dot Design Awards in 2014 (publication) and 2018 (educational innovation), affirming the clarity, imagination, and technical precision that define their approach.

​

Alongside their studio practice, Eve has built an extensive career in fashion consultancy and education. They have served as a design consultant for TEXMA Corp. and have taught fashion design, digital fashion, and illustration across London, Taipei, New York (FIT), and multiple institutions in China. Their widely used textbook, Practice of Fashion Drawing, continues to shape vocational fashion education across Taiwan.

​

In 2024, Eve was selected as one of three global winners of the Go Green with Taiwan Award, endorsed by Taiwan’s International Trade Administration and executed by TAITRA. Chosen from 396 proposals across 45 countries, their project, Digital Fashion: Transforming Fashion for a Sustainable Future, was celebrated for its cross-cultural relevance and its ambition to align digital fashion with global environmental challenges.

​

Eve’s creative and critical perspectives are also shared through ongoing writing as a resident columnist for CACAO, an online art and design magazine. Their recent film with sound, A Mother's Guide to Love, created in collaboration with Portal:M and exhibited within Collective Care at London College of Fashion (2025), reflects an evolving research practice concerned with care, memory, and the reimagining of fashion education.

​

Today, Eve continues to work at the intersection of fashion design, material and digital craft, illustration, and practice-based research. Their work advocates for inclusive, pluralistic, and decolonial approaches to creative education, while championing making as a site of care, experimentation, and cultural imagination. Their ongoing projects continue to expand what fashion—and fashion storytelling—might become.
