I'm Veronique (Vy Emanuelle Benoy), a fashion designer and production manager based between Amsterdam and Ho Chi Minh City. I craft streetwear and knitwear-inspired pieces, weaving Vietnamese culture and diaspora stories into wearable fashion that empowers communities through creative expression of food, art, and fashion. I also lead production for events and brand dinners, blending concept, trend research, and practical manufacturing to bring ideas to life. I have experience in graphic design where I specialise in logo, posters, zines and other media. Currently I split my time between Saigon Kiss (designing and coordinating production) and freelance design work, while previously interning at G-Star Raw and conducting textile/material research at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute. My experience spans concept development, digital fabrication workflows, fabric testing, and materials research, with a focus on connecting culture, craft, and contemporary design.
