With a desire to make full use of available materials and give new life to discarded fabrics, the designer created new fabrics from leftover threads, fabric scraps, and hand-stitched and woven patterns to create the costume, which celebrates the creativity of craftsmanship.
Designer Nguyen Khai Tam said: "As the one who pursues sustainable fashion, the reuse of fashion waste is my main concern. Inspired by the theme "Design from limitations" of this year's Vietnam Design Week, I want to contribute to the sustainable fashion movement and hope that more young designers in Vietnam will embrace it and leave their mark on Vietnamese and international sustainable fashion."
The second prize goes to Nguyen Hung Cuong and Nguyen Hong Phuc's Soli Decorative Lamp, made of eggshells, which reduces its price and makes it environmentally friendly.
