ABOUT

LIA NGUYEN

Fashion Designer exploring structural femininity, cultural identity and material experimentation

I am a Vietnamese fashion designer whose work explores structural femininity, cultural identity and material experimentation. Having lived and studied across Vietnam, the United Kingdom and Italy, I am interested in the tension between softness and structure, heritage and contemporary expression.

 

My design process begins with hand sketching, research and textile exploration, developing concepts into expressive yet wearable silhouettes.

I approach fashion as a dialogue between body, material and identity. Through volume, movement and tactile surfaces, I create feminine forms that feel both delicate and structurally defined.
