LENA WU

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,

​
