Vietnamese Designer Tra Linh Shines on the Global Stage: Dressing C-Biz Icons Like Fan Bingbing

The year 2023 marked a historic milestone for Vietnamese fashion, as local designers increasingly dominated international red carpets. At the forefront of this movement is Tra Linh, the visionary behind the brand Hacchic Couture. Her exquisite designs have become a favorite among the elite of the Chinese entertainment industry (C-biz), with icons like Fan Bingbing, Liu Yifei, and Tiffany Tang choosing her creations for high-profile events. One of the most talked-about moments was Fan Bingbing’s appearance on the cover of L’Officiel, wearing a stunning Hacchic Couture gown adorned with Swarovski crystals, valued at approximately $20,000. This collaboration was the result of months of meticulous craftsmanship, blending Tra Linh’s signature aesthetic with the 'red carpet queen's' unparalleled presence.

Tra Linh’s success in the highly competitive Chinese market is no accident. Following a successful showing at Shanghai Fashion Week, her brand gained significant traction on social media platforms like Xiaohongshu, attracting the attention of top-tier stylists. Designing for stars like Liu Yifei—the 'Fairy Sister'—requires a deep understanding of both character and occasion. For the launch of the movie 'Wish,' Tra Linh created a gown that balanced ethereal beauty with a sense of wonder suitable for a family-oriented premiere. The designer noted that the C-biz environment is incredibly demanding, with strict rules regarding exclusivity and modesty. Despite these challenges, Hacchic Couture has managed to distribute its collections across 15 provinces in China, Hong Kong, and Macau. Tra Linh’s journey from a 9x generation designer to a global fashion powerhouse serves as an inspiration for the Vietnamese creative industry, proving that with unique DNA and unwavering quality, local brands can compete with the world’s most established luxury houses.
