Garnering 11 years of New York City fashion industry experience at Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria’s Secret and Brooks Brothers. June Lin brings her professional talent to her passion for dance.
June’s penchant for art & creative expression first gained international recognition at the young age of 12 when she left home for Singapore to join Hwa Chong’s Art Elective program on a full-merit scholarship. Over the years she embraced many passions & honed her skills in Chinese painting, calligraphy, oil painting, sculpture and fashion design. After being accepted to New York’s Parsons school of design, New York University and Rhode Island School of Design, she pursued her love for fashion at Parsons, where she won the Parsons CV Starr, the Dean’s BFA and and BFA International scholarships.
While at Parsons, she quickly landed an apprenticeship to Eiko Ishioka worked with her on projects such as “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” and “Immortals.” As one of three finalists for Womenswear Designer of the Year, she presented her thesis collection at the Parsons Benefit Fashion Show event at Chelsea Piers which Saks Fifth Avenue selected her work for its flagship store. Her collection was selected for sponsorship through a competitive review by generous benefactors which included Amicale Cashmere, Politecnico Calzaturiero Scars Shoe Design, and Coach.
All of her hard work paid off after landing a job as womenswear designer at Tommy Hilfiger where she was challenged with Red Carpet designs for Tommy Hilfiger. In 2014, June was offered the position as a solo fashion designer to create garments for Artist Cai Guo-Qiang’s opening performance of the Met Gala.
Since 2016, June has been working as a menswear designer at Brooks Brothers where she balances their classic aesthetic with her own creative vision. Through her experience in designing performance knitwear, June has been able to use her industry knowledge on performance wear.
