MODO Fashion Society: Welfare Officer

Hi, I’m Yvette Cheng, a second-year Civil Engineering student, and I’m applying for Welfare Officer because I care deeply about how fashion affects wellbeing—from mental health to identity to cultural representation.

With experience as a tutor, private chef, and small business owner, I bring quiet strength: empathy, calm organisation, and behind-the-scenes care. I’m not loud, but I lead by listening, uplifting, and building systems that support others.

I’m passionate about second-hand fashion, sustainability, and how clothing reflects class, race, gender, and history—especially in media. I want MODO to be a space where members feel confident, included, and free to express themselves.

My vision includes:

• Fashion & identity prompts – Reflective questions to spark conversation around style, culture, and self-image
• Costume & culture film nights – Films with post-screening chats on fashion’s social impact
• Story-swap vintage events – Clothing swaps where each piece carries a story
• Taste & textile evenings – Cultural food + fashion meetups for relaxed bonding
• Content creation workshops – Panels & skill-building sessions with creatives to empower members online, with regular check-ins

Let’s build a kinder, more connected MODO—together.

Hi, I'm Sree, an Arts and Sciences student, and currently the Social Secretary at MODO. In my first year, I had the pleasure of serving as an Editing Executive, which introduced me to the creative and collaborative spirit that defines the society.

Over the past two years, MODO has become a meaningful part of my university life. From working alongside a dedicated committee to welcoming new members into our community, every experience has deepened my love for the society. This year, I was also involved in the Fashion Show, gaining insight into its execution from both a committee and participant perspective. Next year, I plan on working  alongside with committee to ensure that we maintain a strong focus on inclusivity, ensuring MODO continues to be a safe, expressive, and inspiring space for all. 

I would like to introduce:
 Mindful Fashion Conversations, where we can have casual discussion circles on topics like body image in fashion, navigating creative burnout, or how identity and fashion intersect. 

Anonymous Feedback Form: Open year-round for members to share any issues (stress, accessibility needs etc.)

Decompression Nights: After big shoots or show days, organize low-pressure events like journaling cafes, or crafts, to relax and connect.

I've grown so much personally and creatively through MODO, I would love the opportunity to give back in my final year by helping lead, support, and uplift the society that has meant so much to me.
