Sydney · Fashion Design Studio

Fashion,
without gatekeeping.

Studio VII is where beginners, aspiring designers and emerging brands learn to turn an idea into a real garment — and a real business. Education, brand development, and couture, led by Vivian Tung.

The work behind the work — Studio VII, Sydney.

The Three Pathways

Three ways
to work with us.

Whether you're starting from zero, building a label, or commissioning a piece — every pathway is met with the same care, and the same craft.

Education
01

Education

Kids and adult classes in our Sydney studio, plus the Fashion Design Master online course. Learn the real process — sketching, patterns, construction, business — from a working designer.

Brand Development
02

Brand Development

Strategy, design development, tech packs, sampling and production support for emerging labels. We take an idea and make it a real, produced collection.

Sampling
03

Sampling

Custom pre-production sampling in Sydney. Pattern, PP sample, fit and refinement — so everything is figured out before you deal with a supplier.

The Studio VII Mission

Fashion shouldn't be gated by
postcode or degree.

Your background is your superpower. Everyone is met equally — no judgement, no elitism. Just craft, taught honestly.

Vivian Tung, founder of Studio VII
Founder

Vivian Tung.

Fashion designer & educator.

Fifteen years across couture, bridal, and manufacturing. Vivian has shown at Fashion Week, built her own label, and worked at the highest levels of the industry — inside leading fashion houses where the real process usually stays locked away.

Studio VII is her answer to that: a place where craft is taught in the open, and every student is met with the same respect a couture client would be.
