MEET THE FASHION ARTISTS
Andy Vilaisak
I am a fashion designer based in Minneapolis, MN. I create menswear that aestheticize androgyny. My style has exaggeration, it is edgy, baggy, and oversized, but also tailored and fitted.
Jenny Tran
[I am a] self-taught sewist & multimedia artist Raised in Southern California and currently resides in San Diego (Occupied Kumeyaay land). My creative process is guided by a desire to reflect on my own particular life experiences as Việt kiều in the U.S., but strives to ground their cause-and-effects and significance in something that remains in service to collective liberation. My pieces and writing embrace the necessity of destruction in order to create. Artist debut at the Centro Cultural de la Raza 2022. Authored essay "Any Changes in Appetite?: Diet of the Viet Diaspora's Mind & Soul" 2024.

Xai Vue
For as long as I can remember, art has always resonated deeply with me throughout my adolescence. It was only inevitable that it would become a big part of my identity as I matured into adulthood. I'm currently developing myself as a professional in my primary occupation where I've designed, produce, perform graphic installments for clientele, and operate flexographic equipment with a colorful decade of experience and a proven track record in the print industry. In my free time outside of work, I dabble in various forms of self-expression through art. It has allowed me the opportunity to discover myself as an individual in this world and once I knew who I was and what is important to me, I realized what I must do in order to design my life the way I've always wanted it to be.
