Houstonian Danny Nguyen grew up helping his parents in their Alief alterations shop. Although he got his start with fabric and sewing, he also dabbled in the art of sculpture before ultimately returning to his sewing machine, this time to try his hand at couture fashion. Nguyen was fascinated by the old ways of couture, a commitment to handcrafted and hand-stitched creations.
His Spring/Summer 2024 collection, In Full Bloom, is heavily influenced by “the radiant beauty of flowers in full bloom.” The collection blends lightweight fabrics with vibrant colors and hand-stitched embroidery. The designer’s Fall/Winter 2024 Collection, Eternal Dynasty, is a tribute to Nguyen’s mother. The collection appeared at New York Fashion Week and features Asian-inspired brocades and fabrics. dannynguyencouture.com
