Tuan Tran
Creating beautiful art and stunning fashion is my passion.
I am honored to be the featured designer at many fashion shows such as Melange’, Autodesk Design Night, TVOT – T.V. of Tomorrow, Chic Metropolitan, SF Sustainable Fashion International and many others.
Tuan says: “Life is colorful. I am colorful. Art and Fashion reflect life. My Fashion design and art reflect me.” The color’s of thread, cloth, wire, ribbon, are my pallet. Recycled Materials are the Ethos of my Fashion Design & Art.” The colors and textures of material, thread and wire, appear in much of his work. His line of hand painted dresses and men’s jackets and suits are innovative and stunning. The elements or materials he uses to compose his Fashion and Art are as varied as the resulting end design. Born in Vietnam, Tuan calls San Francisco home, where he also has a successful real estate career. His garments have drawn national and international attention. He has been a featured designer in many fashion and art shows, and is the subject many articles written about him and his craft. Life cannot be taken too seriously. Tuan says: “Fun, enjoyment and thought are what I hope to bring in each of my pieces. The subject matter, materials and theme of each of my pieces vary significantly; reflecting life, reflecting belief, reflecting me.”
