i-D talks to designers Tin Nguyen and Daniel Chew about dressing legendary artists and nightlife pioneers in their latest collection.
, who has been making work for 40 years. “Casting, that’s a way for us to do that, to sort of continue to build a tree and a dialogue,” says Nguyen. Of Liu, who served of doorkeeper to a generation of clubs, he adds “I think for us to include him is also a way for us to show him the kind of community we do have, and invite him into it.” Behind the scenes, the designers also worked with long term friends and collaborators, including stylist Avena Gallagher, who is integral to their aesthetic.
This year was the third annual CFGNY show, inspired by the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc, where the designers have visited with Nguyen’s family in between producing their collections. Phu Quoc hems closely to their ideal as it’s what they describe as “vaguely Asian” — a collision of both Western and Asian aesthetics, somewhat like Chinatown.
CFGNY makes its collections in Vietnam, with Nguyen going for a month to supervise production. It isn’t the typical designer/factory relationship, however. The label’s clothes are made in collaboration with local families, who exist at the cross section of tailoring and factories, each of them interpreting the designers’ ideas how they see best . “A lot of times they'll just kind of make decisions,” laughs Nguyen.
