About ME
Hello! My name is Alessandra Schlums and I'm a fashion designer based in Montreal, Canada with a degree in Mechatronics Engineering. I love everything to do with fashion, technology, and sustainability.
Throughout my time at the University of Waterloo, I made sure to keep fashion a part of my life. I participated in annual local fashion shows as a designer, showcasing collections that combined the Avant-Garde with more Ready-to-Wear pieces. These shows allowed me to explore everything from designing, pattern making, garment construction, model fittings, catwalk choreography, and artistic direction.
For 12 months of my coop terms, I worked at companies in an R&D position with a focus on fashion technology (wearable sensors, conductive textiles, Bluetooth connection to a mobile app).
I now run my own handmade-to-order independent fashion label called HOUSE IUNGO, as well as create digital fashion.
