Bonus Episode: Cross-Cultural Exchange with Môi Điên’s Tom Trandt

Friday, December 8, 2023 • Duration 27:20

Australia’s connections with Vietnam are many and varied, not least of all in relation to fashion. Vietnam is the second largest garment exporter in the world; a place with a long history of fashion creativity, innovation, tradition, and local trade.

Australians have long benefited from talented Vietnamese garment makers. So, how are the connections between fashion designers and creatives in Australia and Vietnam being celebrated and supported today?

Today’s guest is Tom Trandt, founder of Môi Điên Studio in Saigon, Vietnam. Last year, Tom was one of four Vietnamese designers to participate in a RMIT-led cross-cultural craft and design exchange called đây đó (here/there).

The collaborative project, which brought together designers, artists and creative craft practitioners from Australia and Vietnam, promotes contemporary design practice while sustaining traditional forms of art and craft. It opened opportunities for cultural, economic and knowledge exchange between makers and designers from the two countries.

Harriette spoke to Tom about his practice and his experiences participating in the đây đó (here/there) project.

Reinvigorating Australia’s Knitwear Industry with Kirri-Mae Sampson

Thursday, August 24, 2023 • Duration 34:05

Australia is famous for some of the best wool in the world. However, even though we produce one quarter of the world’s wool, 98% of it is exported before it’s turned into clothing. The lack of milling, weaving, and knitting capacity in Australia means that very little knitwear is actually made here. But this wasn’t always the case.

What are small manufacturers doing to reinvigorate the Australian knitwear industry?

Today, Harriette is talking to to Kirri-Mae Sampson, co-founder of HATCH + make, a circular design, development, and manufacturing facility producing premium knitwear in Victoria’s Yarra Valley. HATCH + make is innovative both in its implementation of a circular economy framework—which ensures as little waste as possible—and its commitment to local, regenerative production techniques.

Vietnamese Outworkers in Australian Fashion

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, July 14, 2022 • Duration 27:34

In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, over 55,000 refugees fled their country to start a new life in Australia.

Many urgently needed jobs to support their relatives back home, and went on to play an important but overlooked role in our fashion industry as outworkers, employees who worked from home instead of at garment factories.
