Tran Hung Enchants London Fashion Week, in Collaboration with 1001 Shoes

At London Fashion Week, Vietnamese designer Tran Hung reaffirmed his reputation as one of Asia’s most captivating couturiers. His SS2026 collection, “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter…and Spring”, unfolded as a lyrical exploration of time, seasonality and rebirth.

The setting at Spitalfields offered an atmospheric canvas, a darkened hall, soft light, and an audience held in suspension as each look emerged. Sculptural gowns swept the runway with architectural precision, liquid silks clung and flowed like water, and crystal embroidery caught the light with hypnotic intensity. A sweeping jade slip shimmered with quiet sensuality, while an ethereal ballgown crowned with a parasol balanced theatre and grace. The finale, a veil-draped gown encrusted in crystal, carried the authority of modern couture, closing the show with a vision that resonated long after the applause.

Tran Hung’s work has always been defined by its duality, delicate yet commanding, intricate yet effortless. Here, he drew a line between the passing of seasons and the permanence of craft, producing garments that felt both timeless and utterly of the moment. Every embellishment was deliberate, every silhouette shaped to echo movement, rhythm, and renewal.

This season also marked a debut of equal significance. 1001 Shoes, Indonesia’s foremost footwear brand, stepped onto the international runway for the first time in collaboration with Tran Hung. A 53-piece collection complemented the gowns with sculptural heels and refined evening sandals, designed not as accessories but as integral elements of the narrative. For 1001 Shoes, founded by Uma Hapsari and Kiki Siantar Huillet, it was a transition from retail acclaim to the vocabulary of high fashion.

The presence of emerging models Coco Huillet and Amazara, daughters of Kiki Siantar Huillet, added an intergenerational dimension, heritage placed firmly in the spotlight of an international stage.

This was not simply a show. It was a statement, that luxury, when rooted in culture and expressed through craft, speaks a universal language.
