Bored with his studies, Duy Tran quit fashion school and started his own label Fancì Club in 2018.

Now, his designs are spotted on famous celebrities like Bella Hadid, Doja Cat, and Blackpink.

The 24-year-old designer is from Long An province in southern Vietnam. He initially started the brand as a secondhand clothing reseller before upcycling into his own designs, per The New York Times.

In 2021, Tran released his first-ever collection of original designs which conceptualized his label into the version it is today.

His original designs, many of which are reminiscent of the increasingly popular Y2K style, have been worn by young celebrities around the world.

Strong elements of femininity are ingrained in Fancì Club's pieces, with famous designers like Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, and Jean Paul Gaultier as Tran's inspirations, per The New York Times

"I want to empower anyone who wears my clothes to feel feminine and self-confident," Tran told The New York Times.

The label's official retail website features anything from corsets to dresses with a price range of $80 to $800. His pieces are often flowy and sheer, made with materials like mesh and nylon, to create a powerful, sultry look.

Trans' latest collection, "Colour of Unadulterated Insanity," is slated to be released on April 15. The designs lean into the concept of dark femininity, with themes of jealousy and betrayal, Tran told The New York Times.

Though he hopes to open a store in the US one day, he doesn't want to lose sight of serving Vietnamese women, his original customers.

"I want them to know there is someone here making clothes for them," Tran told The New York Times.
