His designs are spotted on famous celebs like Bella Hadid, Doja Cat and Blackpink. The 24-year-old designer is from Long An province in southern Vietnam. Bored with his studies, Duy Tran quit fashion school and started his own label Fancì Club in 2018. He initially started the brand as a second-hand clothing reseller before upcycling into his own designs, per The New York Times.
First collection of original designs in 2021
In 2021, Tran released his first-ever collection of original designs that conceptualised his label into the version it is today. His original designs, many of which are reminiscent of the increasingly popular Y2K style, have been worn by young celebrities around the world.
American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo and K-pop group Twice’s Im Na-yeon sported the same dainty pink-bowed black corset designed by Tran.
They both wore it in their own unique style.
