Quỳnh Anh Shyn x C.Dam: Cuộc gặp gỡ của hai "vũ trụ" thời trang riêng biệt Giám đốc Sáng tạo Cường Đàm quyết định hợp tác cùng Quỳnh Anh Shyn trong dự án có quy mô khủng mang tên RENDEZVOUS, diễn ra vào ngày 8/8.
Deconstructed from the traditional undergarment, the Double-ring Top reimagines the halter to a ruched asymmetric garment with wooden rings on its sides, an Inflowing signature. The fan-favorite silhouette is paired with bell-bottom tights, lightening the look.
Deconstructing classic tailoring items extends beyond the classic silhouettes themselves. In the Asymmetric Cut-out Dress, lapels are turned into the bodice with a contrasting draped skirt, creating a dynamic design to adorn the body.
Tailoring is an integral code to C.DAM’s garment-making techniques. For Inflowing, we explored how the silhouette of the classic blazer could be subversive to a wearer. The Deconstructed V-neck Blazer subtracts the lapels and buttons in favor of metal clasps with extended straps that drapes the back.
The Grain Lacquer Bag is an artisanal creation made by local talents in Hanoi, Vietnam. 3D-printed and painted with the finest of materials, the one-of-a-kind pochette comes in Ink, Muted Chartreuse, and Iridescent Milk, and remains archived at the C.DAM studio.
THE SINGLE-RINGED JERSEY DRESS
As men and women labor away on rice paddies, mud and water of the land weighs their attire as the day passes. The weight of the garments are carried as the day ends.
Gestures of carrying the garment are imbedded throughout the collection, with wooden rings assisting the movement while adding textures from its material. Crafted in cotton jersy, the bias cut garment moves and molds to the body of the wearer, forgoing the weight of the dress and allowing for pure sensuality in the cut.
INFLOWING VIDEO CAMPAIGN
The team at C.Dam and partners ventured across parts of Northern Vietnam in search of an authentic representation of the geography. Sites were guerrilla scouted and shot over the course of 48 hours. First premiering at the Inflowing fashion show, the film was presented as a part of the Inflowing Exhibition. The fashion film contextualized the collection's inspirations, from grasslands to hidden caves, going to the root of the looks and the cultures it was born from.
An agricultural society, Vietnam is built upon the foundations laid out by the rice grain. By exploring oval silhouettes and details, the shape is ingrained into the C.Dam design philosophy. Garments are made with structure and form in mind, reflective of C.Dam’s architectural roots, creating polygonal aspects without sacrificing movement. From bags to 3D-printed, hand-painted artisanal show pieces, and small homages to the shape, the grain is reimagined through a contemporary point of view.
Our story continues. See you in August.
INFLOWING RETROSPECT
We reminisce on Inflowing. The collection is an exploration of the fundamental ethos of our brand: playing with oppositions, our inheritance of culture, and a distinct approach to fashion. With 39 looks, 100 guests, and over 150 staff members, the event has created a special opening for C.Dam: a fashion show combining multiple artistic experiences and futuristic inspiration.
We hope to see you soon.
