Fashion – Houston
Nicholas Nguyen grew up in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with a childhood dream of becoming a major fashion designer. As part of a small group of advanced level students that were awarded the opportunity to study abroad in the United States, and at the age of 15, Nicholas arrived in America ready to pursue his dreams as a designer. He devoted all of his free time to studying every aspect of fashion design, and through lots of practice, he taught himself how to sew.
The biggest challenge for Nicholas was trying to start the company while keeping up with his studies as a full time student, but he was determined. During 2013, he picked up several commissions throughout the year; Nicholas was nominated for the 2013 F.A.C.E. awards, and won! He made the cover of AbOut Magazine and finished his first couture line. Nicholas had the honor of showing those designs in Austin, and Dallas, fashion week 2014, and as a result he was featured in Dallas Fab Magazine. In December 2014, Nicholas graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in international business and was ready to take the next step with Mysterious by NPN.
Having already showed at Houston Artopia and New York Fashion week, 2015 has brought exciting opportunities for the company and it’s not over yet! So much has changed in our lives, and we have so much to be grateful for. This is just the beginning!
