Rong Jake

As a content creator, Rong Jake’s audience appreciates his contemporary ideas across fashion, travel, & lifestyle, with specific affinities to his work in the fashion industry. With a light hearted approach to sharing his experiences as a queer person of colour on his channels, he focuses on creating a community centred around self-expression.

As a fashion designer, he has been nominated for both the International Woolmark Prize, one of the largest fashion design competitions in the world, & within Australia – the National Designer of the Year Award. Hailing from an unconventional IT background, Rong Jake stumbled upon design & fashion through his humble experiences designing t-shirts for his friends & eventually for UNIQLO, which eventually shifted into a creative direction position at menswear brand, AMXANDER.

As the founder and creative-director for Graedance, a genderless demi-fine jewellery line focusing on celebrating intersectionality, his work has been featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Men’s Uno, to name a few outlet.

Rong Jake’s creative work focuses on researching humanistic narratives, particularly narratives exploring subcultures, whilst revelling in the cyclical nature of society’s cultural blueprint. An admirer of contemporary art & digital technologies, much of his work integrates & welcomes collaborations from new & emerging brands.
