Tom Trandt is a Vietnamese fashion designer whose work has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City when he was still a junior at Parsons the New School for Design.

In 2016, he moved back to Vietnam to start his own brand, Môi-Điên, which has since presented 5 collections and has been featured repeatedly in fashion magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and L’officiel.

Due to a shortage of fabric suppliers in Vietnam, Tom and his team develop unique textile treatment techniques to bring a unique aesthetic to his brand which has been challenging gender stereotypes from the beginning.

“As a designer who has been practicing ethical fashion since I was a student, and a responsible citizen of the world, I am aware of the fact that every detail while running a fashion business can either contribute to our process of healing the earth, or can expose our home to greater risks.”
