DANNY NGUYEN COUTURE
SPRING/SUMMER 2014
using historic color and learning to manipulate the fabric into modern designs - combining the old with the new.
Describe the general process you go through to design and realize a piece of clothing.
I realize each dress by imagining a person or a character that is wearing that dress. Who is she? What does she do? What is her role in society? How is she influenced culturally and historically - bad or good?
What is your favorite part about conceptualizing a
design?
I love to work with my hands. I am a hands-on person. I like to sculpt my creation, rather than drawing them. I'm a 3-D Artist; so I have to visualize it with my hands by draping it first before putting it down on paper.
All Danny Nguyen Couture designs are photographed by his brother, David Nguyen. You may view more photography by David Nguyen on his website at DavidHNguyen.com.
