WORK · 02 - HERITAGE FUTURISM

"NOI" Collection

Echoes of Vietnam in the world of tomorrow. I asked the Yếm đào and the Áo dài one question: how will you evolve? The answer is sculptural, cosmic, and sustainable. Heritage and futurism in one silhouette, in respectful dialogue with Pierre Cardin's legacy.

The design ethos of Pierre Cardin, his sculptural approach and cosmic geometry, meets bamboo-slat conical-hat structures, Tan Chau and Van Phuc silk, organic cotton and plant-based leathers.
