Looking for something safe and stable, Alison got her master's in Physical therapy and worked in a hospital for some time. But life took its course. Something that started as a hobby completely changed her life.Knitwear fashionAlison started as a self-taught fashion designer. Her fresh vision and exquisite work with texture, materials and forms brought her the title of the Designer of the Year by Taiwan Fashion Awards in 2010.Knitwear fashionSince then Alison is pursuing her dream and her passion.
