Báo Thanh niên•19/02/2024
With her talent and creativity, Tran Tam, a fashion design student at Ton Duc Thang University, received the opportunity to design costumes for several beauty queens at Miss Grand International 2023 and Miss Earth 2023.
Tran Tam won the national cultural costume design contest at Miss Grand Vietnam 2022, with a work called “Truc Chi”. In the same year, “Truc Chi” was brought by Miss Doan Thien An to the Miss Grand International 2022 beauty pageant and won the Best National Costume award.

From this opportunity, Tran Tam got the attention of national directors (those who have the authority to send contestants to international beauty pageants) of many countries and received the opportunity to design national cultural costumes and evening gowns. Tran Tam once had the opportunity to design national cultural costumes for Miss Grand Venezuela to compete in Miss Grand International 2023 held in Vietnam in October 2023. Tran Tam said that because Miss Grand Venezuela had problems transporting the costumes to Vietnam, she asked this young designer for support.

“The costume is themed after the ocean, specifically the Mochima Bay area where Miss Grand Venezuela 2023 lives. I completed the costume in 1 week. I made this costume from floating foam, added LED lights and used a bamboo frame because it is flexible and light,” Tam shared. At the Miss Earth 2023 pageant in Vietnam, Tran Tam continued to have the opportunity to create national cultural costumes for representatives of India, Germany, Haiti, and Colombia.

Miss Earth India's costume was inspired by the image of a famous goddess in this country - who is believed to bring many jewels and prosperity. Tran Tam used recycled materials such as scraps of fabric, paper and plastic to complete the costume. "Miss Earth Germany's costume was inspired by the image of an eagle, symbolizing strength, constant effort, and determination to reach the top. Meanwhile, Miss Earth Colombia's costume was inspired by the mangrove forest with the meaning of protecting the environment," said Tran Tam.

Tran Tam said that the beauty Valenchina, Miss Earth Haiti, asked this young designer for support in the national cultural costume competition. Because of the urgent time, Tam asked for permission from Miss Grand Venezuela to reuse the wings of the costume she had previously competed in at Miss Grand International 2023. "Fortunately, Miss Grand Venezuela agreed to support Miss Earth Haiti. This has shown the spirit of mutual support, peace, and at the same time, recycling the wings has the meaning of protecting the environment," Tran Tam shared.

Valenchina, Miss Earth Haiti, was moved when talking about Tran Tam: “He created a beautiful outfit that reflects the culture of my country. Above all, he always helps me a lot mentally. To me, Tam is a great designer because he works with all his heart. I want to take this opportunity to send him a deep thank you.”
