RECENT PROJECTS
THESIS - BETWEEN TWO WORLDSMy collection explores the relationship and expressions between Vietnam and the Western world, an encounter between two cultural identities that unfolds through the language of dress. It investigates how clothing can become a meeting point where values, aesthetics, and histories converge, collide, and transform. Through this exploration, I aim to uncover how traditional Vietnamese garments evolve when placed in dialogue with Western subcultures. Particularly, I was drawn to the influence of the New Wave movement, whose aesthetics were deeply shaped by punk, though my primary focus centers on punk’s visual and emotional vocabulary, its archetypes, studded embellishments, and deconstructed garments, and on how this intersection redefines contemporary notions of identity, belonging, and resistance.
RAGGED ROMANCES
During my internship at RR, I worked as a design assistant on the development of the new collection. I was involved in pattern making for corsets, draping, and hand sewing on wedding dresses, supporting the design process from initial construction to final garments. I also contributed to content creation by photographing pieces, producing visual materials, and assisting on set during photoshoots. In addition to collection work, I assisted with bespoke client projects, altering patterns to ensure precise fits and draping garments according to individual measurements. I also gained hands-on backstage experience during Paris Fashion Week, supporting fittings, last-minute adjustments, and overall show preparation.
SKI WEAR PROJECT
This fashion collection presents a bold and imaginative fusion of Lolita subculture and contemporary ski wear, resulting in five distinct looks that challenge traditional boundaries between street style, performance gear, and historical aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from the hyper-feminine silhouettes, delicate lace, and Victorian-inspired details of Lolita fashion, each outfit is reinterpreted through the lens of functional winterwear—introducing elements such as insulated fabrics, oversized puffers, technical layering, and utilitarian accessories. The result is a whimsical yet resilient collection that plays with volume, texture, and color contrast—merging the softness and elegance of Lolita with the boldness and protection of alpine outerwear. This juxtaposition offers a unique narrative where fantasy meets function, romanticism thrives in extreme climates, and style defies both tradition and weather.
SAILOR PROJECT
This fashion project explores the visual and cultural language of the sailor uniform, drawing from the traditional sailor boy suit to develop a structured, boxy silhouette rooted in functionality and identity. Beyond silhouette, the research delves into sailor culture and craftsmanship, particularly embroidery, where anchors, ropes, maritime insignias, and hand-stitched details become symbolic elements. Traditionally associated with rank and belonging, these components are reimagined as expressive surface treatments, transforming embroidery into poetic storytelling that evokes travel, discipline, nostalgia, and youth. The project ultimately examines uniform as both a system of order and a medium for individuality, softening rigid structures while preserving their iconic form, and creating garments that embody a tension between conformity and self-expression.
THE FLOWY ARMOR PROJECTIn my thorough investigation into the origins of the fencing jacket, I embarked on an exploration of its history, particularly its association with armor and its portrayal of the male figure. This inquiry led me to reflect on the archetypal depiction of masculinity exemplified in stories like that of St. George and the dragon, which emerged during the 19th century. This narrative often epitomizes the conventional motif of a valiant hero—a strong, heroic male—rescuing a damsel in distress by triumphing over a formidable adversary, the dragon. However, I want to shift the narrative of this motif to reflect the empowerment of women. Where women put on metaphorical armor and fearlessly facing the challenges that confront them.
This shirt collection blends elements of traditional armor with nuanced touches that celebrate femininity. The garments mimic the structure of armor, with some parts designed to emulate rigidity for protection and others crafted with softer, more fluid materials to accentuate femininity. Dissecting the chosen garment, the shirt includes elements of layer and pleating in different materials to separate but at the same time combining the hard and soft side of the armor inspired garment.
In essence, this collection not only pays homage to the historical roots of armor but also heralds a new era of empowerment, where women courageously embrace their own narratives and face life’s challenges with resilience and grace.
