Thai Nguyen

Join us for a joyful conversation with the talented and loving fashion designer, creative director and TV host, Thai Nguyen! Thai shares stories from childhood, growing up in Vietnam, discovering fashion, how we felt lost for years and how he found himself again. We talk about mental health and his ongoing coming out journey. He also shares his passion for bringing Vietnamese culture and fashion to the mainstream.

Thai Nguyen graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2002 and right away, joined BCBG Max Azria. Soon after, he ventured to create his own eponymous label.

Thai’s designs have been featured in fashion’s top publications and graced the red carpets including the Met Gala, the Oscars, the Grammy Awards, and countless movie and television premieres. Thai’s dresses have appeared in Vogue Italia, Vanity Fair and on clients such as Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Cindy Crawford, Alison Brie, Lala Anthony, Leona Lewis, Kristen Bell, Kelly Marie Tran, Juliette Lewis, Nicole Scherzinger, Laverne Cox, and Jasmine Tookes.

Recent projects for Thai include representing Vietnam as one of 50 international judges on The World’s Best on CBS and Say I Do on Netflix.
