Showcase & Discover Creative Work

She first steps into fashion in 1999, during her studies of BA Fine Art in Central Saint Martin College in London. There is no official study of fashion behind her but an irrepressible need to express herself and a bit of good luck. The proper step into fashion was when Venie came back to Kuala Lumpur after the study in London.

Having taking up technical studies in Raffles Design Institute in Kuala Lumpur, the fashion design course introduced her to a different, more practical side of creative expression.

With the foundation from Raffles, Venie went on to work at a fashion house, handling a Malay suburban brand Ladylike and later, became a brand executive for every girl’s fashion haven MNG. She was thrown in the deep end of learning everything about a fashion business from scratch – from the management to the process of getting a new store ready for opening.

Venie looks back on her background in fine art as an important factor in helping her develop a more rounded take on fashion. Her work experience has paid off and she has since fostered expanding horizons and artistic visions.

Her years in London gave her the confidence needed to make a statement as a young fashion designer and helped her to develop wider perspectives readily applied in her work.

Following her own inspiration, Venie Tee continues to inspire. She is living her dream. Read Less
