Lanterns and Home by SUSAN NGUYEN

LANTERNS AND HOME

CONCEPT STATEMENT The Lanterns and Home collection was inspired by my hometown in Vietnam where I spend a lot of my time in the summer. This collection is very close to my heart because this is the place where I grew up. Hoi An Ancient Town is known for its traditional craftsmanship of lanterns and I want to translate its spirit of somber nights lit by lanterns and the comfort of home into this collection.

The choice of a heavy weight cream cotton throughout the collection creates a sense of unification.

Its similarity to calico reflects the raw emotions that I feel when I am home paired with gathered details to create volume and silhouette that represents the round lanterns. This collection offers a new contemporary feel with a mix of different types of fabrics from heavy weight cotton, a warm knitted wool blend to the delicated touch of organza and silk.
