Fiona Fung, co-founder of Tangenym, is a designer who believes good taste is good for the environment. After working in fashion for several years and realising the industry’s major social and environmental implications, Fiona wanted to explore new design research that uses intelligent imagination with consideration for the environment. During her Masters thesis in London, she looked at how algae could be used as a material resource that replaced petroleum-based products. This research was selected as Top 3 for the first Kering Sustainability Award 2015 (Stella McCartney). Fiona has since developed a professional skill set that focuses on sustainable design, branding, material innovation and product conceptualisation. Fiona has ten years experience in the fashion and luxury sector and has worked with over 75 brands across her career in London, Milan, New York, Hong Kong and Canada. She holds an MA in Fashion Futures from London College of Fashion, a Distinction from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, and a Distinction in BSc. Textiles & Clothing from the University of Alberta. Fiona was a BoF Voices Top 50 Shortlist in 2016, and has been featured in the Guardian and Vogue.
