Hoang Thao Uyen Le

My grandfather, a proud soldier, inspired my first fashion project through stories of bravery and national pride. Reflecting on my childhood memories, I drew from the rich heritage of 18th-century Vietnamese royal costumes — long, sweeping sleeves and motifs evoking cherished childhood toys. This project is my way of introducing my identity as a Vietnamese person shaped by both my roots and my experiences studying abroad, expressing a hope to contribute to a peaceful world free from the hardships of my ancestors.
