His designs are spotted on famous celebs like Bella Hadid, Doja Cat and Blackpink. The 24-year-old designer is from Long An province in southern Vietnam. Bored with his studies, Duy Tran quit fashion school and started his own label Fancì Club in 2018. He initially started the brand as a second-hand clothing reseller before upcycling into his own designs, per The New York Times.
