Hi, I’m Beckham Lin, an MFA Fashion Design student at FIT.

My work centers on storytelling, gender fluidity, and experimental craftsmanship.

I’m inspired by Thom Browne’s mastery of tailoring and narrative.

I bring strong skills in conceptual design, collaboration, and problem-solving

and I’m excited to contribute to a team that values precision and vision.

I’d love to learn more about what you look for in a designer.

What’s the best way to stay in touch?

Subject: Introduction – Beckham Lin, MFA Designer Seeking Creative Opportunities

​

Dear [Recipient's Name],

​

My name is Beckham Lin, and I’m a Taiwanese fashion designer and recent MFA graduate from the Fashion Institute of Technology. My design practice blends cultural storytelling, gender fluidity, and experimental craftsmanship. I recently completed my thesis collection, Bedtime Stories; a deeply personal exploration of identity, memory, and dream states through sculptural silhouettes and textile manipulation.
 

I’m reaching out because I greatly admire  your brand’s approach, and I’m seeking opportunities to contribute to a team that values narrative, innovation, and inclusivity in design. Whether through design, concept development, or creative collaboration, I’m eager to grow and bring a fresh, multicultural perspective to the table.

​

If you’re open to it, I’d be grateful for a short conversation or the chance to share my portfolio. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to learning more about your work and potentially contributing to your vision.

​

Warmly,
Beckham Lin

Dear Hiring Team,

I’m writing to express my interest in a design position at Banana Republic. As a recent MFA Fashion Design graduate from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a Taiwanese fiber artist with a multicultural design lens, I’ve long admired Banana Republic’s reimagined creative direction, particularly its focus on elevated essentials, thoughtful fabrication, and refined storytelling.

My thesis collection, Bedtime Stories, explores identity, dream states, and generational legacy through sculptural silhouettes, textile manipulation, and gender-fluid design. My work merges experimentation with craftsmanship the values I see echoed in Banana Republic’s recent collections. My background also includes an internship at ITOCHU Prominent USA LLC, where I supported trend development, fabric sourcing, and merchandising presentations for major U.S. retailers.

I’m passionate about creating inclusive, concept-driven garments that empower self-expression while honoring craft and sustainability. I would be excited to contribute my creative perspective and hands-on skills to a brand that values innovation, heritage, and emotional connection.

Thank you for considering my application. I welcome the opportunity to share my portfolio and discuss how I can contribute to your design team.

​

Warm regards,
Beckham Lin
