Since winning the Redress Design Award 2021, Jessica has launched her own fashion brand, PCES Studio, based in Taiwan which takes inspiration from the environment we live in, the possibilities we see in materials and designs as well as nature, culture, humanity and technology. PCES Studio’s capsule collection ‘SBSM’ showed at Taipei Fashion Week AW23.

As part of her winning prize, Jessica Chang gained the opportunity to collaborate with Timberland® on their Lunar New Year 2023 collection, which retailed  globally. Jessica’s two-in-one jacket design featured a workwear-inspired inner jacket and an all-over printed vest. The pieces can be worn together or detached to mix and match with other parts, offering a versatile, all-gender design with longevity in mind for consumers. Her ‘Year of the Rabbit’ jacket features the comfort of organically grown cotton.

Jessica holds a BA in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design, USA.

“Evolving recycling advancement enables us to reuse materials that weren't possible in the past; therefore, utilizing existing materials and problem-solving are things we must consider as responsible designers.” - Jessica Chang

redress Design Award Collection

Jessica’s winning Redress Design Award collection, ‘The Wall’, explored the different forms of walls that form protection or barriers, from those existing in nature, to man-made architecture and emotional walls we built to protect our hearts. Jessica upcycled industry surplus textiles and secondhand clothing into garments, adding breathable window detailing, with the aim to reduce the frequency of garment washing.
