Dear Readers,
Welcome to a radiant edition of TFW Times, where soulful journeys, bold artistry, and cultural vibrance come together to inspire.
We open with Gracie Van, whose path from Vietnam to London has shaped her brand, SORAMAME—a label rooted in vulnerability, ethics, and fearless self-expression. Her designs transcend aesthetics, becoming wearable narratives of identity, culture, and quiet strength.
Next, we enter the shimmering realm of Robert Abi Nader, the Lebanese couturier redefining modern haute couture. His Fall-Winter 2025/2026 collection, showcased at Paris Fashion Week, is a stunning fusion of tradition and innovation—liquid gold and flowing silks crafted into daring silhouettes that radiate both power and romance. Each piece is a testament to his vision and mastery.
Our journey continues through Vietnam, a land of striking contrasts—misty mountains, emerald bays, and lantern-lit streets alive with history. Ancient temples blend seamlessly with modern cities, while every dish, from steaming Pho in Hanoi to crispy Banh Xeo in the south, celebrates the country’s rich flavors and communal spirit.
This issue honors the creators and places that remind us beauty is born of passion, heritage, and evolution.
Happy reading!
