Trang Phung

Guest Fashion Designer

Trang Phung was born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam during the height of the Vietnam War. After the fall of Saigon, South Vietnam was under major economic and political distress. In desperation, Trang’s mother raised enough money to arrange for one person to escape on a small fishing boat, and Trang was chosen with the mission to rescue the family to the Free World. At age seventeen, she was alone on her journey as a part of the “Boat People Exodus”. After spending a year in a refugee camp, she was immigrated to the United States and eventually migrated her family to reunite with her, after many years of hard work.

Despite many life challenges, Trang always managed to succeed in her endeavors. In 2010, amidst the global economic crisis, Trang fearlessly made a transition from her position as Regional Vice President of Nationwide, a Fortune 500 Com‑ pany, to pursue her desires ‑ founding Trang Phung (aka Sen Couture), an American‑made clothing line.

that were quickly well received by trendsetters all over the world. They were often seen on high profile celebrities and the press.

Giving back to the community is important to Trang. She has consistently supported many local charities, es‑ pecially the cause that is dedicated to providing medical care to poor children around the world.

As Trang’s experiences and entrepreneurial ambitions continue, she hopes to advance her company and her philanthropic efforts into the future.
