This project is a series of three field guides exploring traditional Vietnamese fashion through research, illustration, and abstraction. The first guide introduces the history and cultural significance of key garments in a manuscript format, while the second presents ten pieces through detailed illustrations and brief descriptions. The third guide shifts into a more experimental approach, deconstructing these garments into abstract compositions that highlight their patterns and forms. Together, the series moves from informative to interpretive, offering both an educational and visual exploration of Vietnamese dress.

Project Details

I approached this project by researching the main clothing and fashion pieces my culture normally wore everyday from traditional times, and accentuated the time periods and specific locations each pieces were from. Each graphic was hand illustrated to keep the traditional aspect of the manuscripts, as well as hand woven binding and hand made cover pages.
