Subject: PhD Inquiry – Researching Contemporary Expressions of Traditional Chinese Culture in Fashion

Dear Professor Sau Chuen Joe Au,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Huizhong Li, and I am writing to express my sincere（词汇程度） interest in pursuing doctoral studies （phd是否需要扩写）in Fashion and Textile Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University under your supervision. Your pioneering research on innovative textile structures and material applications has deeply inspired my academic trajectory, and I believe that my research ambitions align closely with your expertise.

I hold an MA in Fashion Womenswear from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Costume and Clothing Design from the China Academy of Art. During my graduate studies, I became increasingly invested （兴趣增加速度程度用词）in exploring the interface between tradition and innovation—specifically, how fashion can serve as a critical platform for reinterpreting Chinese cultural heritage in contemporary contexts. （原因细致程度）While I have actively sought to incorporate and preserve traditional elements through fashion projects and curatorial activities, I have also become acutely aware of the challenges posed by cultural misrepresentation and appropriation. I am thus eager to deepen this exploration through doctoral-level research that engages with advanced material innovation and interdisciplinary cultural discourse.（cha是否过于简单，原稿是否详细描述更加合适还是说需要筛检更为精简）

My proposed research investigates how the concept of “individuality within plurality”（概念存疑，我将会发送我的rp供老师参考） can inform a modern design framework for reviving lesser-known elements of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Drawing upon methodologies that span material experimentation, curatorial practice, and philosophical inquiry, I aim to develop a practice-based approach that interweaves visual, historical, and technological narratives. （物理、哲学、历史、科技和视觉结合，打破当今艺术、人文和科技之间学科割裂对话的设计局面）The goal is to offer innovative solutions for sustainable fashion design while contributing to a more nuanced representation of Chinese identity in global fashion discourse.（我将提供我rp的中文版和ChatGPT翻译的英文版来供老师参考校对，我会画出rp重点观点）

Your work, particularly your publication “Creation of Illuminated Sofa Cloth with Innovative Jacquard Woven Structures: A Practice-based Approach,” has been instrumental in shaping my research perspective. I am especially inspired by your application of photonic yarns and pressure-sensitive weaves—methods that expand textile functionality while embedding cultural significance. I see strong parallels （原文使用词汇为similarities是否有些不太合适，但我不太懂怎样使用词汇更积极合适）between your illuminated textiles and my experimental work with 3D-printed bio-mud fabrics, both of which seek to blend material innovation with layered aesthetic and narrative values. I believe my practical knowledge of traditional Chinese crafts, combined with my conceptual engagement with identity and material culture, could offer a distinctive contribution to your research group.

I have attached my CV and a draft of my research proposal for your consideration. I would be honored to further discuss the possibility of working under your supervision and contributing to your ongoing research initiatives at PolyU.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Warm regards,
Huizhong Li
