About Me
I am Faith Cooper, an academic with a passion for fashion, cultural identity, and Asian studies. With over a decade of experience in museums and the arts, my work delves into how fashion intersects with cultural narratives and identity formation, particularly within the Asian diaspora.
My recent work includes completing a Fulbright grant at Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan, where I focused on brand and fashion management in the Asia-Pacific market. My research explored how Taiwanese fashion designers express cultural identity through their work, culminating in my thesis, “The Layers of Taiwanese Identity: Exploring Fashion Designers’ Cultural Expressions.”
I hold an MA in Brand and Fashion Management from Fu Jen Catholic University and an MA in Fashion and Textile Studies: History, Theory, Museum Practice from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City. I also earned a BS in Art History and Museum Professions from FIT, with a minor in Asian Studies.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to various projects, including the Asian Fashion Archive, a digital resource I created to highlight Asian fashion culture and history. My work has been featured in multiple exhibitions, publications, and conferences, reflecting my commitment to bringing diverse fashion histories to a global audience.
