SG Batik Design Contest 2025

Raffles Designers Defining Intangible Cultural Heritage By Design

Fresh perspectives on tradition and design took the spotlight at the Batik Design SG Contest 2025, where three Raffles Designers are among the five national winners handpicked by the judges from 140 submissions. The competition invited design students, professionals, and residents, local or overseas, to create original, thoughtful, and visually compelling batik-inspired designs from everyday life in Singapore.

The judges are:

  1. Dr Jack SIM, founder of World Toilet Organisation & BOPHub
  2. Anne AVANTIE, Indonesian fashion designer and contemporary kebaya pioneer
  3. Ms Selmin OZBUDAK, Founder and Art Director, Narart Gallery, Istanbul
  4. Mr Daniel BOEY, Fashion Show Producer, Daniel Boey Pte Ltd
  5. Ms ZHANG Ting Ting, CEO, Singapore Fashion Council

The College is proud to be the Design Education Partner of this initiative and continue to nurture designers who approach tradition not as limitation, but as challenge for reinvention. Congratulations to Raffles Designers Wint THAWDAR, LI Jia Yan, and ZHU Ying Wen, whose entries were distinguished by their conceptual clarity, refined execution, and a strong sense of visual storytelling.

Selected submissions, including the above winning designs, were exhibited at ION Art Gallery from 20 to 28 September 2025.

Tianjin University of Commerce Boustead College – China Curriculum Development Visit 2024

Tianjin University of Commerce Boustead College
China Curriculum Development Visit 2024

Raffles College of Higher Education welcomed delegates from Tianjin University of Commerce Boustead College, an institute of RafflesEducation, to the Singapore campus for an education and teaching development seminar! 🎓✨

The visit provided invaluable insights for all faculty members between the two institutions! They shared pedagogical approaches and investigated new areas to improve student’s learning experiences and graduate outcomes.

As part of their visit, the delegates viewed Midori collection by Raffles Jewellery Designer Mifuyu FUKAI at the RISIS boutique. Mifuyu’s passion for design, coupled with her reverence for Japanese culture, served as the driving force behind the Midori collection.

The Midori collection is a testament to Mifuyu’s artistic vision and meticulous craftsmanship. Inspired by Japan’s enchanting bamboo forests, each piece in this collection exudes elegance and sophistication. Crafted with precision and adorned with prasiolite (green amethyst), this collection is currently retailed at RISIS and now available in white gold and rose gold due to popular demand.

Raffles Designers not only learn from industry collaboration but also excel in them to bring their designs from Design to Retail.

Beyond individual success stories, this collaboration symbolizes Raffles’s commitment to nurturing and empowering the next generation of creatives. By providing students like Mifuyu with real-world opportunities and industry exposure, we aim to foster innovation, excellence, and career readiness for Raffles Designers.

Raffles Designers designs MUJI Re-inspire Exhibition 2023
Muji Re- Opening at Plaza Singapura

Raffles College of Higher Education would like to congratulate MUJI Singapore on the grand opening of the largest global flagship store in Southeast Asia on 22 November 2023.

MUJI Plaza Singapura Global Flagship Store is the biggest MUJI store in Singapore to date and a significant milestone for MUJI Singapore over the 20 years in Singapore. This expansive store, covering 38,000 square feet in the heart of the city, serves as the primary anchor to display the entire comprehensive product range (across concept, scale, and variety).

Within this flagship store, “Open MUJI” is a space for MUJI Singapore to partner with local designers and creators to create exhibition and workshops, enabling MUJI Plaza Singapura to be a place for the community to exchange ideas, and for learning and education. Raffles College of Higher Education is honoured to be the FIRST education institution to present, “RE-Inspire” – the first sustainable exhibition of designs that use MUJI’s ageing and defective items in fashionable collections, jewellery accessories, lights, art installation, etc in a Zen garden.
Inspired by the comma, a mark symbolising a slight pause in the fast-paced lifestyle and representing MUJI’s appreciation of the eco-conscious practice of prolonging the shelf life of products via creative repurposing.
A RE-inspiring sustainable exhibition, and a successful collaboration by Design!
