Unique Projects by Students of Fashion Brand Building & Management
On the afternoon of December 27th, 2024, the Van Lang fashion runway came alive with the Fashion Design 2 project showcase by Class 28 students and the first design process projects by Class 29 students majoring in Fashion Brand Building & Management, under the Fashion Design program of the Faculty of Arts & Design, Van Lang University.
The showcase featured 04 diverse collections: bridal, evening wear, streetwear and traditional outfits, each collection reflecting the personal style and creativity of the young designers.
A standout of the show was the “Flowers in the Fog” collection, which comes from the brand LANUNA by designer Pham Hong Hai. Inspired by flowers blossoming in the morning fog, the collection combined gentleness and romance with strength and modernity. Premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship brought to life ethereal wedding gowns that flattered the model and captivated the eye. More than just a bridal collection, “Flowers in the Fog” spreads the message of confidence, resilience, and the rising aspirations of women.
The collection “Dinh Danh” by Luong Cong Bang (ARUS) showcased a unique combination and creativity. Inspired by the contrast between “inner darkness” and “the desire for light,” the collection uses seemingly discarded materials such as old tires and rusty nails combined with fabrics and gemstones, creating an impressive reborn beauty.
“Co Hoi” by Le Phan Khanh Chi (Metis Le) left a strong impression on the audience. Inspired by Phap Lam of Hue, the collection reflected a deep desire to explore and express traditional Vietnamese culture and antiques, seeking to uncover the elegance of the past in a contemporary context.
“Shūen no Kioku” (終焉の記憶) by Vu Cong Tuan is not just a typical streetwear collection, it is also a statement of the yearning to live authentically in an increasingly dystopian world. Inspired by daily laborers, Tuan infused his designs with street spirit through bold cuts, relaxed oversized silhouettes, and gritty color palettes, portraying life as it is.
All projects were completed with great care by the students.
According to Designer Hoang Minh Ha, the collections illustrate originality, refinement, and high practicality. Some collections particularly impressed the judges with their unique concepts and sophisticated material handling. The judges highly valued the students’ through investment - from concept development and fabric selection to cutting techniques and presentation. Their maturing design mindset was evident in the seamless combination of creativity and functionality.
The event brought hope for a talented new wave of fashion designers, with these projects marking a promising start to the journey of Class 28 and Class 29 students in Fashion Brand Building & Management as they set their sights on conquering the Vietnamese fashion scene.
