Vietnam-native turned New Yorker, fashion designer Alan Truong started his fashion career as an evening
gown designer. He became a menswear designer out of necessity - he could not find clothes in the United
States which would fit his slim Asian physique. So, he started making his own clothes.
People noticed the clothes he was wearing and pretty soon, he was getting orders for them. With a very
fashion-forward menswear line geared towards a "young"market, Alan Truong is known for detailing
in men's garments. Pleats and feather are used in luxury fabrics such as silk organza and cashmere. The result -
a very elegant and sporty look for men.
Alan Truong was one of the finalists in GenArt's Style 2000 competition. The Fall 2001 season is his debut at
7th on Sixth.

Alan Truong: Color My World

New York, Feb 9, 2001 / FashionWindows --- If you're male and you want to add color to your
wardrobe, then Alan Truong's Fall 2001 collection is the one for you.
A new designer making his debut at the "big tent" this season, Alan Truong caught
the media and retail buyers attention with his very fashion-forward sportswear for men.
Disregarding the military trend that was going since the Milan Menswear show, Alan Truong
came up with a very elegant and luxurious collection for both the uptown and downtown sets.
Starting with an almost conservative long coat, the show progressed to a colorful men's wardrobe with
colors ranging from yellow, lavender and magenta.
Catching my attention was a black knitted cashmere dickie that looked like a sleeves shirt from the front, but
when the model turned, only his long hair was covering his back. Very ingenious upated for the dicky.
With this collection, the saying, "Color me beautiful" now also applies to men.
