About the Designer Nancy Vuu, best known internatio­nally for her luxury designs for kids and juniors is excited to launch her expansion into Women’s Wear at NYFW September 2016.

Nancy Vuu, born in Vietnam of Chinese and Vietnamese parents, had her fate altered when her family immigrated to America early in her life. Growing up,

Nancy became enamored with fashion and would intuitivel­y sketch clothing designs. Following a formal education, Nancy found success in banking and residentia­l lending while at Bank of America. Nancy held such prestigiou­s positions as Vice President of Marketing and Premier Client Manager. As a working mother, Nancy enjoyed styling her children in unique and beautiful clothing, where her passion for fashion then reignited. After designing her first line, Nancy launched NANCY VUU in May 2014.

Today, her creations are recognized internatio­nally and have been featured in Vogue Italia, British Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar UK, Glamour UK, Elle UK, BRIDES UK, KiDS Magazine France, Earnshaw’s US, It’s a Kid’s World US, and Fashion Odd’s US. Nancy has styled hollywood celebrity youth to the royal Princess Maddalena, daughter of Prince Lorenzo De'Medici of Florence.

Nancy is looked up to as a thought leader, and a savvy business woman with influence and inspiratio­n. Silicon Valley Business Journal highlights her in the article, “People on the Move” and San Francisco Business Times recognizes her as one of the 2015 “Women on the Move” group. Last year, Nancy styled an editorial in honor of African American Heritage featured in Fashion Odds to promote beauty in color. Nancy continues to partner with Unlikely Heroes, A21, and Hope for Justice in eœorts to raise awareness, stop human tražcking and to build safe homes for its victims. Last season Nancy also launched her campaign “Empowering Children with Cancer through Fashion”. As a result, in her previous shows in NY and LA this year, Nancy embraced diversity and those with challenges by partnering with Madeline Stuart, the only adult model with Down Syndrome and Jen Bricker, an aerial performer born with no legs. Nancy continues to use her platform to inspire hope and to emphasize that beauty comes in many diœerent forms.

Nancy looks forward to bringing her creativity and philanthro­py to a new level with her new Women’s Wear collection to NYFW this September.
