MEN IN PURSES

The early 2000s were a vibrant era shaped by icons like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears... whose trendy handbags set global trends. More than accessories, these bags embodied identity, confidence, and cultural aesthetics such as barbie/mcbling core and office core. MEN IN PURSES reimagines this legacy through a male perspective, proposing an alternate reality where men carry handbags with the same energy and statement power. Built on sustainability, the collection challenges gender norms while preserving the spirit of bold self-expression.

I’m Duc Vu, an upcoming freshman who would describe myself as dramatic, calm, and fearless. My passion for art began at a young age, but as I grew, I discovered fashion was my true path. During high school, I started pursuing fashion design seriously and created several projects that reflect my creative vision. Inspired by sustainability and nostalgia, I’m eager to explore new opportunities, challenge myself, and grow within the fashion industry while shaping my unique design identity.
