- A little about yourself...
- My dream is to make CARING fashionable. I want to my clothingline to be a brand that profits by being generous. I want to change the garment industry's perspectives on CREATIVE LICENSE and show that creativity can be gotten with balanced numbers and balanced lives. Former Corp Finance/M&A Gal now fashion designer of things beautiful, I came to this business almost accidentally after creating a small line for a fashion-show to assist a friend save a trade-school designated for the handicapped. We were able to salvage both school and the creativity that once possessed me as an artist.
I am firm on the basis that high-fashion can be socially & ecologically responsible. One of the reasons why I’d forsaken a steady paycheck was a deep need to do more than the mere act of consumption. Now it’s my corporate policy to be GREEN. Nothing is wasted at our facility: samples are given to orphanages, remnants are passed along to local schools for projects, and knowledge is used and recycled first in our sewing room, then in the classrooms we teach. Soon, we will pass along knowledge and skills to the craft-house where we support and assist girls formerly trafficked into prostitution.
The latter is my fondest and most important work. We are now onward to our most humbling endeavor: to build a new school and art center within the heart of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam where poverty often crosses the line into crimes of enslavement and prostitution. We are now in cohort with ADAPT, a non-profit organization passionate in their quest to save humanity in the region. It is our goal to make High End Fashion a way to bring freedom and economic changes to both the girls and the families who have sacrificed them.
My customers might love our clothes for the unusual fabric and fresh aesthetics, but it is their patronage that provides our girls the best look in our collection: the look of hope for a better future.
My name is LanVy Nguyen, our label is called 1-of-3 "Fashion for Freedom".
Since starting my line, I've had the pleasure of being the resident Style Guru for my girlfriends whose full households of 2.5 average kids depleted most of their time for self-indulgence and fashion.

Hi Moms, has anyone used Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty? I want to pull the trigger and try the product but I dont want the hassle of canceling unless I get some good feedback? Cant seem to trust forums anymore these days.

Im helping my sister lose 150 pounds. We use basic home videos and Wii Fit. Wii Fit is a bit of an investment but less than gym membership and more fun than just home videos....it's encouraging because every workout weighs you and tests your flexi...
