Thuy Diep
Thursday, June 19th, 2008
I have to admit, I do get excited when I discover a new designer (part of the reason I love Graduate Fashion week so much, how gutted am I that I wasn’t quicker off the mark with the ASOS Ltd 100?) and thanks to The Fashion Spot I seem to have stumbled across a winner.
Thuy Diep, who has worked with Zac Posen and Carolina Herrera, has produced a rather glorious collection for Spring 2008, which includes Phillip Lim style tailoring and beautiful neutral pieces with the odd patterned or brocaded garment thrown in for good measure. She manages to cleverly combine femininity with androgeny, producing a collection that is exquisitely detailed yet still wonderfully classical.
Diep is Vietnemese-American and was born in Phan Thiet to parents who worked as tailors - fashion was clearly in her blood from birth, and she went on to study at Brown University. I for one am ecstatic that she did, as her pieces have now been snapped up by a number of buyers….
In short, I want one of everything. Thanks.
