TuongVan (Van) Do

An interdisciplinary scholar and writer who aspires to serve as cultural cultivator, Ms. Do seeks to make connections, leverage opportunities, and foster innovations that exist at multi-leveled intersections within our society. Advocating for individual success and community development with a key focus on cross-sectional growth has been a key component in Ms. Do’s personal and professional projects.

Believing that we are what makes life worth living, Ms. Do finds culture a fascinating encapsulation and reflection of our human experience. Within culture, fashion reigns as the first visual expression of individual identity and collective aesthetics: who we are and how we fit into our world.

Fashion is one of humankind’s founding stories, drawing upon and reacting to social, political, economic, and geographical issues that traverse the globe. It is a study in morals, utility, credence, perspective, beauty, and hope. It can be bound by time and place to specify singularity yet simultaneously be versatile enough to transcend borders as ideas and designs are retooled, reused, and repurposed to better suit present precepts.

In SAVViCode’s inaugural Fashion Stream at TECx-m 2024, Ms. Do will explore the diverse ways that fashion, as a creative art, intersects with, impacts, and is impacted by technology through the lens of Ms. Chloe Dao’s unique artistic and entrepreneurial journey.
