About Thuy

Thuy Diep has become well known for creating clothes that reflect a woman of beauty and intellect, one with an artistic and forever-youthful soul. She has earned the reputation for offering softly structured pieces, crafted from specialty fabrics—inviting the consumer to experience the inspiration behind it.

Thuy takes touch, smell, color and emotion, revealing them in her garments—offering the perfect marriage of the senses. Mixing casual chic with romantic sophistication, Thuy’s designs highlight form, craftsmanship and subtle—yet dramatic—details.

Born into a family of tailors in Vietnam, the label Thuy is a true reflection of its designer. As a child, under the direction of her mother and father who ran a tailoring school and custom-made clothing shop in her native home, Thuy began honing her tailoring skills at an early age. She developed a love for well-crafted clothes and an obsession with high quality fabrics.

Moving to the United States in 1981, Thuy was exposed to a whole new world of diverse values and aesthetics—which would shape her stylistic philosophy. Thuy’s education at Brown University and early professional career as a Pricewaterhouse consultant laid the groundwork for her creative entrepreneurial passions.

Returning to school—and back to her first love, fashion—she attended Parson’s School of Design. After graduating from Parsons, Thuy held diverse jobs in the fashion industry, including work with a New York-based Parisian atelier, providing draping and patternmaking services for high-end designers including Carolina Herrera, Peter Som and Zac Posen. Her design experience includes work with several New York-based young designers, such as United Bamboo.

With the encouragement of virtually everyone Thuy worked with, she formed her eponymous label “Thuy”. Producing women’s designer ready-to-wear clothing, Thuy has come full circle to her tailoring roots.
