“Craft \u2013 design, and sustainable fashion is what I love and choose to pursue”, said Ph\u1ea1m Phan Ho\u00e0ng Linh in the launch event of project “here \/ there” taking place on November 12 as part of VFCD 2021. This is a craft and design collaboration between Vietnam and Australia, in which she, designer V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o (Founder of Kilomet109), and The Social Studio (Australia) are the first collaborators. To jump start the 12-month collaboration, artists, designers, entrepreneurs from Vietnam and Australia sat down to share stories, values and visions on their pursuit of sustainable fashion.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”font-koho longform-dropcap text-justify”]In recent years, the concept of “sustainability” is frequently mentioned as a rising trend in every field and discussion. To designer Ph\u1ea1m Phan Ho\u00e0ng Linh, however, “sustainability” exists right in the everyday life in the Northwestern area of Vietnam, the place she has called home for the past eight years.\r\n\r\n“The life of people here gives me a lot of inspiration in fashion-making, that itself is already a sustainable lifestyle. They grow their own food, they make all the fabrics for their clothing, they do everything themselves”, said Linh.\r\n\r\nBorn and raised in Quang Nam, the former student of Hue Fine Arts University “fell in love” with the Northwestern region in one of her field trips, then moved here right after graduation to live and find inspiration for her art.\r\n\r\n“Images of the women making embroideries on the porches, the bundles of clothes laid to dry in the sun, the hands spinning the threads and weaving, the floating clouds or the iridescent sunshine over the trees\u2026 that much is enough to make me swoon. This is also what has brought me to textile dyeing, designing, sewing, which is completely different from what I learned at school”.\r\n\r\nLinh now owns a small handicraft store in Cat Cat Village (Sapa) named Linh Handicraft, where she collaborates with local artisans and craft artists to create fashion and design products of high applicability in everyday life.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3084″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3080″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp” el_class=”longform-full-width”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown” el_class=”longform-section font-portico”]\r\n

TREASURING THE ARTISANS AND THE QUINTESSENCE OF LOCAL HANDICRAFT<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”font-koho text-justify”]To Ph\u1ea1m Phan Ho\u00e0ng Linh, her eight years in C\u00e1t C\u00e1t Village is a continuous journey of observing, learning, and absorbing the values of local handicraft. A self-claimed “artist turned fashion designer”, Linh diligently learned from the local women, artisans, and craft artists the techniques of indigo dyeing, weaving, designing with beeswax, and together with them, creating products for which she is not only the designer but also actively involved in the production process, which allows her to truly understand and treasure the efforts and values of craft artists and artisans.\r\n\r\nLinh always emphasises on the material production process for each design, she said, as “it’s because the artisans and artists create beautiful materials that the designer can be creative and make works of art following their own feelings”.\r\n\r\n“It’s a bond, a close relationship where we support each other in our work”, said Linh while presenting photos she took with the craft artists and Mong girls in her workshop at Cat Cat Village. “The artisans, the people here and me, we collaborate happily, like a close-knit family, without any barrier”.\r\n\r\nAccording to Linh, sustainability in fashion does not only refer to the eco-friendly aspect, but also lies in the original handicraft values in each product \u2013 thanks to the combination of skillful craftsmanship, and the designer’s creative language. “Handicraft fashion has a rustic, unique, meticulous beauty that makes each design unique, behind which is the story around the feelings of its creators.\r\n\r\nWhile it seems that the appreciation and desire to preserve local handicraft is fading, this is also the motivation for designer V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o to choose and persevere in her pursuit for sustainable fashion and cultural diversity preservation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3086″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” el_class=”font-koho”]\r\n

\r\nVietnam in recent years seems to be forgotten on the world’s map of craft-making, only known as a manufacturing point\u2026\r\n<\/q><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”font-koho text-justify”]”Vietnam in recent years seems to be forgotten on the world’s map of craft-making, only known as a manufacturing point\u2026 This was what pushed me when I launched Kilomet109″, the brand she established in 2012, which has since become a leading figure in eco-fashion in Vietnam. “Since the beginning, I have always tried to build a purely Vietnamese brand, creating products designed, manufactured by Vietnamese people, with handicraft skills and techniques of the Vietnamese”, she said.\r\n\r\nAt Kilomet109, V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o works with handicraft communities to develop a closed-loop production process, from making the raw materials to growing plants for natural dyes, through which she realised that “handicraft making is a very benign process”.\r\n\r\n“We can use fully naturally-sourced materials in production, in addition to that not much electricity is needed and even the water can be reused. Waste from the production process, the indigo plants for example, after soaking, they could be use as green fertiliser for plants, and for the indigo field itself.\r\n\r\nThis process is directly related to the working environment, health, and safety of the community \u2013 which is of utmost importance to V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o and Kilomet109. \u201cA healthy community means a healthy Kilomet109, (thanks to that) the craft production community is also healthy and so is the creative community\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”longform-full-width”][vc_column][vc_raw_html]PCEtLSBUSElTIElTIFBBUkFMTEFYIERJViAtLT4NCjxkaXYgY2xhc3M9Imxvbmdmb3JtLWZ1bGwtd2lkdGgiIHN0eWxlPSJoZWlnaHQ6IDk1dmg7IGJhY2tncm91bmQtaW1hZ2U6IHVybCgvd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMjEvMTEvS20xMDktWWFtLVJvb3QtRHllaW5nLmpwZyk7IGJhY2tncm91bmQtcG9zaXRpb246Y2VudGVyOyBiYWNrZ3JvdW5kLXNpemU6Y292ZXI7IGJhY2tncm91bmQtYXR0YWNobWVudDpmaXhlZDsgYmFja2dyb3VuZC1yZXBlYXQ6bm8tcmVwZWF0OyI+PC9kaXY+[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text el_class=”vc_figure-caption”]\r\n

TRANSPARENCY MAKES SUSTAINABILITY<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”font-koho text-justify”]Being able to provide clear, detailed information on the production process, according to V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o, is the transparency needed for sustainability.\r\n\r\nDesigner Ph\u1ea1m Phan Ho\u00e0ng Linh also shared the same thought: \u201cSustainability in fashion also lies in how the user knows the exact origin of the product, the process we go through to create a design, so that they can appreciate and love this handicraft product more\u201d.\r\n\r\nWhile transparency can be a challenging path for major brands and almost impossible for mass-production brands, for small businesses like Kilomet109, local handicraft has given them the \u201cgolden opportunity\u201d to be completely transparent, said V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o.\r\n\r\n\u201cI can directly share the story of the brand, of the beauty and cultural diversity in the Vietnamese\u2019 handicraft. Consumers and audience can also approach the artisans and learn about different cultural topographies\u201d. V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o said she wants to \u201cportray Vietnam\u201d through a simple, ordinary, \u201cunedited\u201d lens. \u201cI portray it as it is, naturally. That story has people at the focus, while their living environment and the surrounding landscape is also a beauty that we celebrate.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe founder of Kilomet109 shared that transparency also create other values to her brand.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” el_class=”font-koho”]\r\n

FASHION BUILDING COMMUNITY VALUES<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”font-koho text-justify”]On the other side of the globe, preserving cultural diversity and supporting disadvantaged communities is also a narrative shared by The Social Studio, a not-for-profit social entreprise based in Melbourne, Australia and also a collaborator with designers Ph\u1ea1m Phan Ho\u00e0ng Linh and V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o in the project \u201chere \/ there\u201d which is expected to unfold over the next 12 months.\r\n\r\nEstablished in 2009, The Social Studio (TSS) has been operating as a combination of a retailer, a production house and and educator, helping immigrants and refugees access work, learning, and creative opportunities in fashion, design, and arts, with the motto \u201ccommunity is always our focus\u201d.\r\n\r\nTSS is accredited with Ethical Clothing Australia. \u201cThis means we work with the clothing council to ensure that the employees are well-paid and get to work in a safe environment\u201d, said The Social Studio CEO Dewi Cooke.\r\n\r\nFor more than a decade, TSS has supported more than 780 young people joining their free certification training courses in fashion and apparels, alongside numerous consultancy and internship programmes related to their creative and production work (according to the TSS website).\r\n\r\nDewi shared that TSS is working with RMIT University on a two-year programme, where students will get to learn industry-standard textile production skills. \u201cIt will be a space where young people can explore their creative ability, build their confidence, while considering whether to pursue a career in the creative industry after completing the two-year programme\u201d.\r\n\r\nRecently, there was a meaningful collaboration between TSS and Collingwood College, where there is a significant number of immigrant\/migrant students, at first many of them are shy and reserved as they weren\u2019t fluent in English. At the beginning of the school year, TSS designed and produced a large-scale banner on campus to welcome the new students. The banner featured vibrant colours blending with symbols and characters of 32 different languages \u2013 a symbol of the respect – from Collingwood College and the local community alike – toward cultural diversity.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3088″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”font-koho text-justify”]\u201cThe artwork conveyed the message of respect to the cultures of immigrants, which is also the focus of our work: creating the spirit of community, of inclusivity, connecting people from different backgrounds, especially immigrants and refugees\u201d, said Dewi.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_single_image image=”3080″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInLeft” el_class=”longform-full-width”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRight” el_class=”longform-section font-portico”]\r\n

She said TSS has been experimenting with natural dyes, but is yet to have enough experience in this area.\r\n\r\nFor V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o, she was impressed with TSS and wanted to learn more about their model, as well as the vision of this social enterprise. Speaking about the project name, V\u0169 Th\u1ea3o said:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” el_class=”font-koho”]\r\n

Being ‘there’ or ‘here’ depends on our subjective perspective, which means it can be flexible.
