Meeting Ms. Fen was a stepping stone to my fashion career. Ms. Fen has always been a passionate mentor throughout my journey being her student. Started from senior high school, I took a consecutive course with Ms. Fen for around three years before studying in Paris. Within a short period of time, I learned so much and developed outside my box. Hence I could overcome any of the difficulties during my study because of how much I learned from them. After finishing my three years of fashion degree in Paris, I came back to Pison for an extended couture course with Ms. Fen. Within that period of time, I learned furthermore about so many techniques that I didn’t get from learning in Paris. And also exceeding my trust over myself that I could do more and better.

Thanks to Pison, I have a deeper fashion knowledge. A great teacher, mentor and owner of PISON, Elizabeth Njo May Fen, one of the most passionate and nurturing strong woman I’ve ever met. Learning from ce Afen was a pleasant experience. She is very willing to share her knowledge and experience in this industry. Which is why after joining Haute Couture in Pison, i got a deeper knowledge in patternmaking and on how to deal with clients. I was able to turn my imagination into reality. Why join Pison ? Finding someone who is willing to share their knowlegde is very rare and i wouldn’t want you to miss that opportunity. Thanks to PISON, i have a deeper fashion knowledge and proud to say that i have become a true Fashion Designer

It’s always a dream of mine to become a fashion designer. After I graduate high school in 2010, I wanted to study fashion design in one of Amsterdam’s prestigious university; Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI). Before getting in, I heard stories about how hard it is to apply; many got their portfolio rejected and failed during the entrance exam. I knew that I had to level up my skills and knowledge before applying to AMFI - building a good portfolio and soaking up as many hard skills as possible before the exam. I decided to take an intensive private course at Pison where I meet Mrs. Afen who has taught me a lot. At first, I took 3 months classes in pattern making, sewing & designing. Just by a short period of time, I’m starting to feel how helpful all the classes was. Teachers were so helpful, explained everything thoroughly, and we always had projects that challenged our way of thinking. I started to gain more trust in Pison and decided to extend my studies in Pison’s bridal course. After finishing my courses at Pison, I got in to AMFI majoring in international fashion & design. My experience in AMFI was easier than most students since I started ahead at Pison. Most students was having a hard time especially in pattern making skills, but I excelled in that area since I could apply all the knowledge that I got from Pison. I even scored a 9 on my graduation project which I believed it was all based on a great basic knowledge I aquired from Pison. I am really grateful and thankful that I have learnt from the best experienced teachers in Pison. Thank you so much, Pison

Pison offers a strong foundation.
Before i went to Singapore to take my fashion degree. I enrolled at PISON and took the intensive program. At that particular moment, i started it from the very beginning and completely had no idea about fashion industry. Thanks to Pison and all my tutors, especially Ce Afen, whom made me feel super confident. I always believe that a strong Foundation will determine a quality and Pison had proven me that, not just in my study but also in working place today as the creative director of my own label, Lukito Sorelle

At first, I enrolled into the basic foundation class in Pison, in which they teach me the fundamental of design technique, pattern making and sewing. I continued to the bridal couture class afterwards. The teaching materials, techniques and explanations from Ce Afen and the other Pison's teachers are very good, not only in theory, but also in practice. I was taught to draw designs and make patterns, and also sew up the final result. After I graduated from Pison, I was able to get clients in no time, and continue to develop myself thanks to the skills and knowledge I learned in Pison. Thank you Pison, Ce Afen and all the teachers who have guided me.

So many useful information i got at Pison.

Pison introduced me to the Couture world.
Prior to my admission to Pison’s Haute Couture Class. I didn’t fully comprehend the world of Haute Couture despite my 3 years Fashion Design Diploma i took back in Singapore.
Ce Afen was very generous to share her valuable experiences and lessons she acquired ever since she dove into the fashion world and have learnt a lot from it.
Aside from techniques, Pison also emphasized the significance of precise cutting and spot-on fabrics selection, attention to detail is of grave importance. All this lessons have been fully applied in the operational of my own boutique @renee.couture

Such an amazing school!
Belajar banyak banget di pison, mulai style ready to wear, bisnis, couture and bridal sampe aksesories. Seneng banget karena dibimbing bener-bener dari yang awalnya gak bisa apa apa sampai bisa semuanya. Dan sejauh ini aku belajar fashion dari SMK, pola di Pison adalah pola paling enak dipakai, terlebih buat couture yang press body. Bagus banget potongannya. Thank you so much Pison, ce Afen dan miss-miss semua! Sukses selalu Pison, semoga bisa melahirkan talenta-talenta fashion designer Indonesia dan internasional.
