DTU’s Fashion Design major is increasingly popular because the advanced training program allows students to position their personal brands just before or after graduation, to meet the income of their dreams. Similar to architects, fashion designers must be artistic, broad-minded, to create innovative, unique, stylish and impressive collections to beautify our world.
Personalized design based on high quality curricula
Creating a personal style and leaving a strong, positive first impression are the most important factors in fashion design. Among the voluminous variety of clothing and styles by well-known and recognized designers on display at fashion shows, a good initial impression leads to future success. Successful beginner designers can then rapidly progress to creating their own prestigious brands and start participating in fashion shows regionally and worldwide.

Create clothing for fashion shows with famous designers
The talent of DTU’s Fashion Design students is gradually being recognized by veteran designers based on their displays at several major fashion shows.
For example, in 2022, Nguyen Phuong Linh, currently a third-year student, was selected by designer Le Tran Dac Ngoc as one of sixteen young designers to work on a collection entitled: “Sounds of Vietnamese and Colors of Five Continents”, during Thailand Fashion Week. This is one of the biggest fashion events of the year, with thousands of fashionistas from Thailand and many other countries.

Phuong Linh recently participated in the “My Tuc Kha Gia” fashion show, at the Lo Giang village communal house in the Hoa Xuan ward, in the Cam Le district of, Danang, together with famous designers Tran Thien Khanh, Minh Chau, and Doan Hung, of Tam Design.
Phuong Linh worked with designer Doan Hung to conceive, design and attach adornments, with the Tam ao dai team. The “My Tuc Kha Gia” ao dai show accentuated enduring traditional aesthetic beauty, enabling attendees to visually enjoy fashion art and its place in the enduring features of Vietnamese culture.
Several students who chose to major in Fashion Design at DTU have since made spectacular breakthroughs, as a result of dynamic and effective teaching, enabling them to work closely with famous domestic and international fashion brands and possibly start a business to create their own fashion label.
