INSPIRATION: The bamboo lattice work in vietnam is everywhere in the life at varying scales and a wide range of uses. The bamboo is used structurally, to create a form. The textured shapes are interesting and beautiful and it impresses me about how such a simple, inexpensive product can make such unique, beautiful and durable products. This inspired to bring it into my fashion designs.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Inspiration of my designs comes from bamboo lattice. In Vietnam, we see this technique in many products such as invitation cards, toys, boats, furniture, baskets for catching fish, chicken cages, lanterns, home accessories, many products. Bamboo lattice is strong, inexpensive, and easy to make with few or no tools.
My vision is to create a resort wear fashion line that is exciting and graceful, sophisticated and charming.
