Artie Ngoc Tran

Artie Tran (Thuy Ngoc Tran) is a womenswear designer and textile developer with a strong foundation in creative draping, innovative pattern cutting, and digital garment development. A recent fashion graduate, she specialises in reinterpreting traditional Vietnamese dress through a modern, global perspective. Skilled in CLO3D, Tran is able to translate physical garments into digital formats, supporting a seamless design process from concept to realisation. By tracing silhouettes from her draping work, she challenges conventional forms, merging cultural heritage with contemporary aesthetics.

Tran's graduate collection embodies this approach, uniting the textile traditions of Vietnam’s Yao ethnic minority with the abstract visual language of Picasso’s Cubism. Through intricate weaving, colour exploration, and dynamic silhouette, she creates garments that feel both futuristic and deeply rooted in storytelling. She is committed to introducing a vibrant, youthful vision of Vietnam to the international fashion landscape, combining craftsmanship with forward-thinking design.
