Since I was a child, fashion and textiles have been at the center of my dreams, and Vietnam has become a big source of inspiration for me. Beyond its stunning landscapes, delicious food, and rich history, Vietnam’s fashion world has captured my imagination. From traditional outfits like the graceful Ao Dai and detailed Hmong dresses to its growing textile industry, Vietnam feels like a creative wonderland waiting to be explored. I dream of visiting this amazing country to dive into its fashion scene—walking through its lively textile markets, feeling its beautiful fabrics, and understanding its craftsmanship. By combining Indian and Vietnamese styles, I hope to create something special that celebrates both cultures while promoting inclusivity and sustainability. My love for fashion has always found a way to grow, even when society pushed me toward a different path. One turning point was in grade 11, when I created a marketing project focused on sustainable women's wear. That project earned me an A+ and also sparked a passion for making a real difference in the fashion world. In college, I joined a global non-profit and led a project that used Katran—waste fabric—to generate income for a women’s community. I served as the Vice President for the organisation last year and also designed 10 dresses that will be showcased in an international fashion week in May 2025. This experience strengthened my interest in sustainable fashion and started a journey I continue alongside my corporate job. Vietnam’s fashion reflects everything I admire—blending tradition with modernity, celebrating culture, and focusing on sustainability. Designers like Phuong My, Thuy Nguyen, and Bao Tranchi inspire me deeply. Bao Tranchi especially stands out with her modern take on traditional Vietnamese designs, showcased beautifully on Netflix’s Next in Fashion. These designers not only represent Vietnam on a global stage but also support sustainability, a cause that is close to my heart. Vietnam’s textile industry is thriving, offering endless inspiration. In Ho Chi Minh City, tailors create custom-made suits in just a day, while the country’s silk dresses highlight its incredible craftsmanship. My admiration grew even more when Indian beauty queens started wearing gowns by Vietnamese designers on global stages. For example, Rachel Gupta, Miss Grand International 2024, shined in a gown by Thuong Gia Ky, while Miss Universe India 2024, Rhea Singha, looked stunning in a creation by Nha Mot. These moments felt like a perfect connection between two rich cultures. I want to visit Vietnam not just as a tourist but as a learner and collaborator. Meeting designers like Bao Tranchi or Thuy Nguyen, experiencing the vibrant fashion world, and exploring traditional clothing and fabrics would be a dream come true. By combining Indian and Vietnamese fashion, I hope to create something meaningful that honors both cultures while promoting sustainability and creativity.
