Quỳnh Chi Mai Nguyễn

Vietnam

I am a fashion designer and a fifth-year college student, currently exploring the world of leather for the first time. Having always been passionate about fashion, I previously focused on traditional design techniques. Last year, under the guidance of a mentor, I began learning about leatherworking, quickly developing a deep appreciation for the material. Through hands-on experience and detailed study, I created their first collection, which featured handbags made primarily from leather. This competition represents a significant milestone in blending their fashion background with new leather expertise, showcasing a fresh and innovative approach to crafting leather pieces that combine aesthetics and functionality.

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.
