Alumni Talks is a series of inspiring sessions where ESMOD Jakarta alumni return to campus to share their professional journeys, creative experiences, and industry insights with current students.
From launching fashion brands and working with leading companies to building successful careers in the creative industry, our alumni offer valuable perspectives on life after graduation and the realities of the fashion world.
These sessions give students the opportunity to ask questions, gain practical advice, expand their professional network, and learn directly from those who have successfully transitioned from the classroom to the industry. Alumni Talks reflects ESMOD Jakarta’s commitment to building a connected, supportive, and future-ready creative community.
“Choosing ESMOD Jakarta was one of the best decisions I have made. It gave me the skills, confidence, and industry experience to build a strong foundation for my career, opening doors to meaningful opportunities in fashion. From developing concepts to bringing collections to life on the runway, every experience at ESMOD Jakarta helped shape the way I design and ultimately supported the growth of my own brand.”
“At ESMOD Jakarta, the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to balance creative exploration with a strong emphasis on the craft of making. Students are encouraged to push the boundaries of their ideas while being guided to translate concepts into refined, tangible outcomes. The academic experience is further strengthened by close engagement with lecturers and industry practitioners, whose insights provide valuable, real-world perspectives throughout the learning journey.”
“ESMOD Jakarta gave me more than technical skills, it shaped the way I think. It taught me how to transform ideas into meaningful designs while building the creativity, discipline, and confidence to trust my own perspective. Today, as I run my own fashion brand, I continue to draw on the foundation I built at ESMOD Jakarta. The skills remain valuable, but it is the mindset, curiosity, and purpose-driven approach to design that have stayed with me long after graduation.”
