LENA WU
Welcome!
Hi, I’m Lena.
My story begins on the ice. Growing up as a competitive figure skater, I spent countless hours gliding under bright rink lights, learning how to tell stories without saying a single word. Every movement and every spin taught me discipline, presence, and how to connect with an audience — lessons that still shape the way I approach fashion, media, and storytelling today.
I studied Communications at The Ohio State University, with minors in Fashion and Retail Studies. During that time, I served as President and Editor-in-Chief of Scarlette Magazine, a student-run fashion publication where I led a team of creatives and helped bring ideas to life. Whether we were producing photoshoots, writing editorials, or organizing runway shows, I loved the process of turning a vision into something real. Studying abroad in London and Barcelona also expanded the way I see fashion — not just as clothing, but as culture, identity, and a form of storytelling that connects people across the world.
Now I’m studying Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design at The New School in New York, where I’m continuing to explore how design and storytelling come together. I’m also a content creator for The Welcome Center at The New School, where I share the student experience and help create content that connects with prospective students and the broader community.
What excites me most are the moments where creativity and culture meet — when a garment, an image, or a story makes someone pause for a second and feel something.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my work. It means a lot to share the ideas and experiences that have shaped me so far, and I hope something here resonates with you. ✨
Sincerely,
