Starting November 2019, Self-Portrait will offer to fund one student per year at Central Saint Martins for the MA Fashion course.

If there&#39;s one thing that we at L&#39;Officiel love most, it is definitely supporting young and emerging talent; and now, Han Chong of Self-Portrait is throwing in support for emerging fashion students at Central Saint Martins, as reported on <a href="https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/news-bites/self-portrait-launches-central-saint-martins-scholarship?fbclid=IwAR2QjGpDlXRRneewhr3s3AjYfzNaVZja394g6q-xdASb2ZZtZDdvDFbNTAA">BoF</a>.

Scheduled to launch in November 2019, the Malaysian born and London based fashion designer will offer financial backing for five years at Central Saint Martins, one of the world&#39;s most coveted fashion schools.

For each year, Self-Portrait will offer to fund one student for the MA Fashion course until the year 2023.&nbsp;

Being a Central Saint Martins alumnus himself, designer Han Chong&#39;s desire to support emerging talents came from his own experience as a young designer who started in 2013.

He told BoF, &quot;I&rsquo;ve been through a lot [and made] mistakes&hellip; it&rsquo;s a tough industry and often you only have a few chances. I want to set up a hub where we get talent from across the industry, so that when people have questions, we can be there for them.&quot;

On top of the funds, Han himself will be mentoring the chosen student throughout the programme on both design and business aspects of the fashion industry alongside Self-Portrait&#39;s key shareholders.
