Equator College continues to nurture award-winning talent! Discover how our Fashion Technology alumni and students stood out at the national My Footwear Design Competition (MyFDC 2026), featuring 1st Prize winner Chew Jeff Yeong and our brilliant finalists, Darshanaa and Joanne (Ng Wei).

We were absolutely delighted to host the students from SMK Saint Xavier for an immersive look into creative education! The students got a firsthand look at our vibrant campus life, exploring our Final Year Students' Showcase and engaging with incredible student artworks.

True architecture respects history. Our students recently participated in a Conservation Architect workshop, where they focused on the discipline of measured drawing. Conducted by Ar. Ooi Bok Kim & Ms Loo Yee Pei (which is also Equator’s alumni) from B K Ooi Architect, this workshop enable Equator students to learn the processes and methods used in real-life conservation practice.

Our Fashion Technology students traded their sewing machines for looms as they took part in a field trip to ACS Stepping Stone Work Centre. Through a day of hands-on learning, Equator students mastered Batik wax-drawing and explored the intricate world of handwoven fabrics. By understanding how cloth is created from scratch, our future designers are learning to appreciate the true value of every thread.

Our Graphic Design students recently dived into the underground world of print and visual art at the SubCulture group exhibition. Organized by the creative collective CultPrint, the showcase provided a raw look at contemporary design trends, experimental typography, and alternative print media. This visit offered our students a fresh perspective on how subcultures influence mainstream design and encouraged them to push the boundaries of their own creative projects.

A huge highlight of our March 2026 Open Day was seeing our students in action! Visitors had the chance to learn about our programmes firsthand by mingling with both lecturers and students. Our talented student creators even showcased and sold their own unique merchandise! These meaningful interactions gave visitors a true taste of the Equator lifestyle: creative, professional, and driven.
