Hanoi University Of Science And Technology

Hello everyone! My name is Thanh Thuy. I’m a third-year student majoring in Fashion Design and Leather Footwear at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. I come from Lam Dong province, which is a stunning place in Vietnam. I have a strong interest in design, material exploration, and garment construction. I am continuously developing my creative and technical skills, aiming to translate ideas into well-structured and meaningful designs. I am motivated to grow as a designer and pursue a professional career in the fashion industry.

Rhythm Of Waves

This design is inspired by the fluid movement of ocean waves and the organic beauty of nature. At its core, a structured corset dress crafted from genuine cow leather with a crocodile-embossed texture represents strength, durability, and protection, similar to a natural form of armor. It reflects resilience and long-term value, aligning with a sustainable approach that prioritizes longevity over disposability. The crocodile texture introduces a raw and primal quality, evoking the untamed essence of the natural world. Its tactile surface adds depth and visual richness, enhancing the perception of strength while maintaining a refined, high-fashion aesthetic. This textured leather becomes a key element in expressing both material value and conceptual meaning. In contrast, soft layers of silk chiffon and silk organza flow around the body, creating a dialogue between structure and lightness. These airy fabrics bring movement and delicacy, balancing the rigidity of the leather. Wave-like textures developed from raw organic cotton mimic the formation of sea foam, reinforcing the fluid and organic inspiration behind the design. The combination of durable leather and biodegradable natural fabrics reflects a conscious approach to sustainability. By emphasizing craftsmanship, material awareness, and timeless design, the piece promotes a vision of fashion that is not only aesthetically compelling but also responsible and enduring.
