Li won the 27th China Fashion Design New Talent Award one week ago.
"All the efforts I have made to overcome the hardships paid off, and I'm overwhelmed by the sense of gain now," she said. "I love Shanghai and its opening-up and inclusiveness, which has been inspiring me to come up with avant-garde ideas and designs."
As one of the co-organizers of the conference, the first of its kind in Shanghai, the university is also staging an exhibition which will run through Sunday at the main venue of the event at 68 Longhua Road E.
