Linh Mai

Vietnam

Hello! My name is Mai Ngoc Phuong Linh, a 20-year-old from Hanoi City, currently pursuing my studies in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. My work revolves around the exploration of gender, the human body, and the spiritual realm, with a focus on challenging societal norms and celebrating the fluidity of existence. I am dedicated to sustainability, advocating for fashion that is both creative and expressive, intrinsically linked to the manifestation of one’s inner self, while remaining responsible and mindful of its environmental impact. This conviction inspires my exploration of diverse materials and techniques as I integrate sustainable practices into my work. My objective is to create visually compelling fashion that deepens our understanding of our interconnectedness with the world. Although I do not possess formal experience and am primarily self-taught, I view the REAL LEATHER, STAY DIFFERENT competition as an exceptional opportunity to showcase my skills and connect with like-minded individuals and professionals on a global scale.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
