MY JOURNEY
My journey in fashion is shaped by curiosity, care, and continuous learning. From studying fashion design at Parsons School of Design in New York City to exploring both traditional craftsmanship and digital techniques, my work reflects an evolving dialogue between culture, form, and intention. Each step forward is part of an ongoing exploration rather than a final destination.
ABOUT
LAISIM SOEUNG
Laisim Soeung is a Cambodian fashion designer and technical designer based in New York. Through my work, I explore the connection between couture craftsmanship, technical design, textile development, and digital innovation while reflecting the cultural influences that continue to shape my creative identity.
My practice focuses on the relationship between cultural heritage and contemporary fashion through structured silhouettes, refined garment construction, and detailed technical development. I work across womenswear, tailoring, couture, and accessories with a strong emphasis on technical precision, embroidery, pattern development, and material experimentation.
By combining traditional craftsmanship with digital technologies such as CLO 3D, I develop garments that merge artistic storytelling with advanced technical execution. My work is deeply connected to construction, textile research, and the process of transforming concepts into fully realized garments through both creative and technical methods.
I have contributed to runway collections, fashion productions, and technical design projects in both Cambodia and New York, including couture development, ready-to-wear collections, and professional fashion presentations. My experience includes technical design, CAD development, fittings, garment construction, textile experimentation, and collaborative creative production within professional fashion environments.
As a graduate of Parsons School of Design, I continue to expand my practice through the intersection of craftsmanship, innovation, and cultural storytelling while building international recognition for my work as a Cambodian designer within the global fashion industry.
ACHIEVEMENT WITH THE MEXART
MXA
The Mexart Agency - CAMBODIA
I previously worked as a designer at The Mexart Agency, a creative agency focused on community-based projects, fashion events, and cultural storytelling. During my time there, I contributed to high-profile projects, including designing costumes for The Masked Singer Cambodia (Season 1). I was also part of a sustainability-focused initiative for Creal Cambodia, where we created garments made from discarded and recycled materials to raise awareness about environmental protection and responsible fashion. These projects strengthened my experience in conceptual design, costume development, and using fashion as a medium for social and environmental impact.
