Saigon, December 2021, TimTay returns with the Fall Winter 2021 Collection (FW21) with 12 designs exclusively for Women.
The idea of FW21 was born right after the success of FW20, but had to be interrupted due to the 5-month social distancing period. In December 2021, FW21 is ready to be presented to the public.
A year has passed, FW21 retains the Asian spirit of FW20 but adds the femininity of Vietnamese women - traditional & modern.
Chapter 2 of the Asian story
Asian beauty is the story that TimTay told in the 12 genderless designs of the FW20 Collection, launched exactly one year ago. Following that endless inspiration, we continue to develop FW21 with 12 designs exclusively for Women.
Modern femininity, minimalist but not boring
In the image of Vietnamese urban girls who are rustic but outstanding, sexy but discreet, femininity is conveyed by TimTay through 12 designs that are not constrained by common standards.
The designs focus on small but valuable details: halter neck, fabric patchwork, pleated sleeves, etc. to highlight the pure, gentle beauty of Vietnamese women.
The flared, pleated details, inspired by the lotus leaf - the quintessential national flower of Vietnam, are applied in the design of the sleeves and pants.
The dress collar is inspired by the yếm đào dress of Vietnamese women in ancient times.
Sustainable “circle” in fashion
Continuing the 7-year journey of pursuing sustainable fashion, TimTay always creates designs that are highly applicable, comfortable and durable, extending the product's lifespan as well as the time between the outfit and the wearer.
In particular, many details on the design are reused by TimTay from leftover fabric in the FW20 production process, creating a sustainable “circle” in fashion.
The patchwork detail featured in FW20 is subtly applied by TimTay in FW21.
With that sustainable spirit, TimTay focuses on using leftover fabric to create designs for accessories such as masks, bags,...
The only bag in the FW21 Collection, inspired by hydrangeas, the floral details on the bag are hand-beaded for hours.
The masks in the FW21 Collection are an improved version - designed by TimTay to handle the inconveniences of traditional masks: The form fits well, gently hugs every face thanks to the adjustable fabric strap; the fabric strap is long enough for you to wear around your neck, avoiding loss. The Patchwork version of the FW21 Mask retains the beloved fabric patchwork pattern of FW20. However, the Black Femininity version is embellished with hand-beaded floral details, creating a charming, mysterious look.
Honoring traditional craft values
Craftsmanship - the guiding principle of TimTay, is always present in the Collections. One of the highlights of FW21 is the horn button detail. The horn buttons used in the Collection are 100% natural, completed by the hands of artisans in the handicraft village in Hoc Mon district, Saigon. Each button is unique, showing solemnity, creating a gentle but delicate highlight for the whole outfit.
Sustainable fashion is a journey - always long and challenging. The FW21 collection is a memorable milestone marking TimTay's maturity on this journey. We have made innovations, but still keep the same meticulousness and passion in each product as in the beginning. We hope you always support TimTay on this journey.
