Mỹ Linh Nguyễn

Vietnam

Hello, my name is Mỹ Linh. I am a third-year student majoring in fashion design. I enjoy being creative with leather and working on leather shoes. My ideas often come from familiar things around me, which I then use to tell my own story. In my designs, I always want to express myself and my emotions, which is why my creations truly reflect my personality. I hope that my designs can reach and inspire others, and that people will enjoy them.

Timeless Orchid Film

Category: Footwear

Competitions: Vietnam

The concept is inspired by old film reels, serving as a symbol for preserving memories and the beautiful moments along the journey of growing up. A pair of vintage slingback shoes walks through life with a dreamy soul, celebrating the beauty of youth, self-love, and the preservation of fleeting everyday emotions. Rather than recreating specific scenes from old movies, the work aims to evoke a nostalgic, vintage atmosphere blended with the modern essence of Gen Z — a generation searching for personal identity in a rapidly changing world. The main character is likened to an orchid — delicate, elegant, yet strong, living fully in each moment. Through this, the concept conveys a message about overcoming challenges, cherishing youth, and moving forward with faith in the future.
