LA TRỊNH ATELIER Brings “Gods Within Her” to Milan, Telling a Story of Femininity and Vietnamese Culture

 

Ahead of Milan Fashion Week, LA TRỊNH atelier is set to present its new collection, “Gods Within Her,” in Milan, continuing its journey of bringing stories of Vietnamese culture, femininity and traditional craftsmanship to the international creative community.

Founded in 2024, LA TRỊNH atelier has developed a creative model that connects design thinking in Milan with the refined craftsmanship and artisanal expertise of Vietnam. With the ambition of building a fashion brand rooted in Vietnamese identity while speaking through an international creative language, LA TRỊNH atelier sees fashion not only as a means of personal expression, but also as a cultural bridge through which Vietnam’s original values can be reinterpreted through a contemporary lens and shared with a global audience.

The atelier focuses on designs with lasting creative value and a distinctive character, with particular attention to garment construction, refined finishing and a sustainable relationship between the garment and its wearer.

From Milan, a Creative Journey Rooted in Vietnam

At the heart of LA TRỊNH atelier’s creative direction is Creative Director Namie Trịnh, currently studying Fashion Design at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) while working as a fashion designer and stylist in Milan.

Drawing on a distinctive surrealist aesthetic, Namie Trịnh develops a design language at the intersection of Ready-to-Wear and Couture, combining strong architectural structures with the natural movement of the body and fabric.

Her debut collection, “Ám Hoa – Cenere Fiorità,” marked the beginning of this creative direction, bringing together Vietnam’s traditional craftsmanship with an international contemporary design language.

Inspired primarily by renowned Vietnamese painter Tô Ngọc Vân’s “Portrait of a Young Woman with Lilies,” the collection portrays the graceful image of Vietnamese womanhood through minimalist, architectural silhouettes and carefully selected materials.

The designs balance angular geometric structures with the natural softness of their forms. Each piece represents a meticulous exploration of craftsmanship, expressing the designer’s individual creative identity while preserving the elegance and precision associated with traditional tailoring.

Building on this foundation, LA TRỊNH atelier continues its creative journey with its new collection, “Gods Within Her,” to be presented in Milan in September 2026.

“Gods Within Her” – When Femininity Becomes a Language of Cultural Connection

“Gods Within Her” is a new chapter in LA TRỊNH atelier’s creative journey, exploring the awakening of the inner goddess and the enduring beauty of femininity.

The woman portrayed in the collection moves through ancient sanctuaries, mythical mountains and cultural landscapes stretching from East to West. This journey is not simply a passage across geographical spaces, but an exploration of different layers of symbolism, memory and cultural identity.

Featuring 30 designs, the collection explores femininity and the power of contemporary womanhood, while bringing traditional craftsmanship into dialogue with contemporary design.

On the Milan runway, the interplay between Eastern and Western symbols is transformed into a fashion language, where beauty, mystery and femininity become a meeting point between different cultures.

Through “Gods Within Her,” LA TRỊNH atelier seeks to bring Vietnamese and Asian cultural symbols closer to the international creative community, while continuing its commitment to preserving and elevating traditional craftsmanship through a distinctive design language.

The project also embraces the principles of sustainable fashion, placing emphasis on the enduring value of design, materials and the relationship between people and nature.

Partners on the Journey to Bring a Vietnamese Story to the World

The international journey of a young fashion brand is shaped not only by the designs presented on the runway, but also by the support of brands, partners and networks that share a common vision of bringing Vietnamese values to the world.

Alongside preparations for its Milan runway show, LA TRỊNH atelier is also gradually expanding its network of collaborations across Europe.

One notable milestone is its collaboration with Cinexia Productions & Beauty Tech World, officially marked by a signing ceremony held during a film premiere event in Prague, Czech Republic.

The event in Prague represents another step in LA TRỊNH atelier’s efforts to expand its international network, creating new connections across fashion, art, beauty, media and the wider creative industries.

For a brand founded by young Vietnamese creatives studying and working in Milan, these cross-border connections create further opportunities for Vietnamese creative stories to be introduced, explored and developed within an international environment.

And “Gods Within Her” in Milan represents the next milestone in this journey.

Supported by a Multigenerational Vietnamese Community in Europe

LA TRỊNH atelier’s journey has also received interest and support from the multigenerational Vietnamese community in Italy and across Europe, including intellectuals, young entrepreneurs, international students and second-generation Vietnamese living, studying and working throughout the region.

This network is increasingly active in connecting Vietnamese culture with Europe, while creating spaces for young Vietnamese talents to introduce their creative capabilities and stories to the world.

The “Gods Within Her” event is honored to receive an Official Letter of Introduction from the Embassy of Vietnam in Italy, recognizing the significance of the initiative in fostering cultural connections and presenting Vietnamese creative values in Europe.

The connection between diplomatic institutions, businesses, strategic partners and the Vietnamese community in Europe is becoming an important part of the journey for Vietnamese creative stories to reach international platforms.

“Gods Within Her” – A New Chapter for LA TRỊNH atelier in Milan

For LA TRỊNH atelier, Milan is more than the setting for a fashion show.

It is a space where a young Vietnamese fashion brand can explore the dialogue between heritage and contemporary creativity, between Vietnam and the world, and between traditional craftsmanship and new approaches to design.

Through “Gods Within Her,” LA TRỊNH atelier seeks to continue telling stories of women, timeless beauty and cultural values that transcend geographical boundaries.

At the same time, the collection represents the determination of a new generation of Vietnamese creatives who are stepping onto the international stage through their own talent, identity and stories.

Carziqo Announces Continued Expansion of Its Autonomous Mobility Ecosystem

 

The autonomous mobility technology company is strengthening its vehicle network, intelligent fleet systems and connected services as part of a broader strategy for sustainable growth.

Autonomous mobility technology company Carziqo has announced the continued expansion of its autonomous mobility ecosystem, marking another step in its effort to develop a more connected, intelligent and scalable transportation network.

The expansion brings together autonomous vehicles, intelligent dispatching, real-time fleet monitoring, remote operational assistance and data-driven mobility services within a unified technology framework. According to the company, the goal is to create an operating environment in which vehicles, platforms and support teams can coordinate more efficiently as service demand evolves.

Rather than focusing solely on deploying additional vehicles, Carziqo said its current strategy places equal importance on the digital infrastructure behind each operation. This includes systems that monitor vehicle availability, analyze route performance, coordinate maintenance requirements and assist operational teams in responding to changing conditions.

Building an interconnected mobility network

As cities continue to explore smarter transportation solutions, autonomous mobility companies are increasingly moving beyond individual vehicle development. Industry attention is shifting toward complete operating ecosystems capable of managing multiple vehicles, routes, service areas and technical processes simultaneously.

Carziqo’s ecosystem is designed around this broader approach.

Its autonomous vehicle network is supported by an intelligent fleet-management platform that can organize vehicle assignments based on factors such as passenger demand, route distance, vehicle status and service availability. Operational information collected through the platform can also be used to identify patterns and improve future deployment decisions.

This allows vehicles assigned to different areas and routes to operate as part of a coordinated network instead of functioning as isolated units.

“Expanding an autonomous mobility ecosystem requires more than increasing the number of vehicles on the road,” Carziqo said in a company statement. “It requires a reliable connection between vehicle technology, fleet intelligence, operational support and the communities the network is designed to serve.”

A phased approach to expansion

Carziqo said it will continue following a phased development strategy as it expands its mobility operations.

Under this approach, the company introduces vehicles and supporting systems gradually, monitors operational results and adjusts its processes before moving into a larger phase. Areas under evaluation include vehicle utilization, route efficiency, service demand, system reliability, maintenance scheduling and remote-support requirements.

The company believes gradual expansion allows its technical and operational teams to better understand how autonomous mobility systems respond to different road environments and service patterns.

Data gathered during operations may also help Carziqo refine its intelligent dispatching technology. For example, vehicles can be assigned according to expected demand rather than remaining concentrated in a single area. This may help reduce unnecessary idle time while improving vehicle availability in locations where transportation demand is higher.

Technology working behind the vehicles

While autonomous vehicles are the most visible part of the ecosystem, Carziqo said much of its development work takes place behind the scenes.

The company’s supporting infrastructure includes real-time operational dashboards, connected vehicle data, route analysis, maintenance coordination and technical-support systems. Together, these tools provide operational teams with a clearer view of how vehicles are performing across the network.

Real-time information can help teams identify vehicles requiring inspection, recognize changes in route conditions and coordinate support when an operational issue occurs. Historical data can then be reviewed to identify recurring patterns and guide longer-term improvements.

Carziqo is also working to strengthen the connection between autonomous driving technology and human operational oversight. Although vehicles may perform driving tasks independently within their designated operating environments, technical teams remain responsible for monitoring system performance, managing maintenance and supporting safe operations.

This combination of automation and structured oversight reflects a growing industry view that the future of autonomous transportation will depend not only on vehicle intelligence, but also on the quality of the systems and teams supporting each journey.

Supporting more efficient urban mobility

Carziqo’s expansion comes as cities around the world face increasing pressure to improve transportation efficiency, reduce congestion and respond to rapidly changing mobility needs.

Autonomous ride-hailing and connected fleet technology are being explored as potential tools for addressing some of these challenges. When integrated with intelligent dispatching, autonomous vehicles may be positioned according to actual service demand, helping transportation networks use available vehicles more efficiently.

Carziqo said the continued development of its ecosystem is intended to support a long-term mobility model that is adaptable across different cities and operating conditions.

Each market may require a different combination of routes, vehicle types and operating procedures. A densely populated urban district, for example, may require shorter routes and more frequent vehicle availability, while a wider service area may depend on longer journeys and different maintenance schedules.

By using a connected management platform, the company aims to adjust its operations according to local requirements without losing visibility across the wider network.

Preparing for the next stage of autonomous transportation

The company’s latest announcement reflects a wider evolution taking place across the autonomous vehicle industry. The focus is gradually moving from experimental vehicle demonstrations toward the practical systems required to manage day-to-day mobility services.

For Carziqo, this means continuing to develop the relationship between autonomous vehicles, digital fleet infrastructure, operational teams and service communities.

The company said future development will focus on improving system coordination, expanding data-driven fleet capabilities and preparing its platform to support additional vehicles and operating locations.

Carziqo also expects to continue evaluating new applications for its technology beyond autonomous ride-hailing. These may include connected mobility services, autonomous delivery support and other transportation solutions that can operate within the same digital ecosystem.

“Our long-term objective is to build an ecosystem that can learn, adapt and improve as it grows,” the company added. “Every vehicle, route and operational phase provides information that can help shape a more efficient mobility network.”

As autonomous transportation moves closer to broader real-world adoption, the ability to manage entire fleets—not simply individual vehicles—could become an important measure of industry readiness.

Through its continued ecosystem expansion, Carziqo is positioning its autonomous vehicle technology, intelligent fleet systems and connected operational services as parts of a single mobility platform built for long-term development.

The company said it will release further updates as new operational phases, technologies and service areas are introduced.

MOLD Urban Premier Brings XERF to the Center of Its New Premium Aesthetic Experience in Makati

 MUP combines XERF and advanced aesthetic care with individualized treatment planning focused on skin tightening, collagen support, skin quality, and natural-looking results over time.

MOLD Urban Premier (MUP) is opening in Makati with a new approach to advanced aesthetics and skin longevity, placing XERF at the center of an experience built around personalized treatment planning and natural-looking results over time.

MUP is the newest Makati branch of MOLD Manila, developed for clients seeking advanced aesthetic treatments with greater emphasis on long-term planning, skin quality, collagen support, and subtle facial refinement.

Rather than building the clinic around an extensive menu of treatments, MUP focuses on helping clients determine what is appropriate for their concerns, what should be prioritized, and what may not need to be treated yet.

XERF Takes Center Stage at MUP

At the center of the MOLD Urban Premier experience is XERF, a non-invasive treatment designed to improve skin firmness, support collagen remodeling, and refine the appearance of areas affected by skin laxity.

XERF uses dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency at 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, allowing controlled RF energy to reach multiple tissue depths. The system also incorporates real-time temperature monitoring and cooling technology for controlled energy delivery throughout treatment.

For MUP, XERF reflects a growing preference among aesthetic clients for treatments that work with their existing features rather than dramatically changing them. Improvements in firmness and definition are intended to develop progressively, making the treatment particularly relevant for clients who want to look refreshed and refined while remaining recognizably themselves.

XERF also supports MUP’s broader approach to aesthetic care: addressing concerns with intention rather than treating every visible sign of aging at once. Each treatment begins with an assessment of the client’s skin, facial structure, degree of laxity, treatment history, and goals to determine how XERF may fit into their overall aesthetic plan.

The result is an approach centered not simply on doing more, but on choosing treatments with a clear purpose.

The MUP Method: A More Considered Treatment Plan

MOLD Urban Premier introduces the MUP Method: Assess, Prioritize, Treat, Preserve, Review.

The process begins with understanding the client’s concerns, facial structure, skin quality, treatment history, and goals. The MUP team then identifies what should be addressed first before recommending an appropriate technology, regenerative treatment, injectable, or skin-quality intervention.

Following treatment, progress can be documented and reviewed before additional procedures are considered.

The approach is designed to move aesthetic care away from disconnected treatments and toward a more deliberate long-term plan.

For MUP, premium care can mean recommending an advanced treatment when appropriate. It can also mean advising a client to wait or explaining why another procedure may not be necessary yet.

Advanced Aesthetics and Skin Longevity in Makati

MOLD Urban Premier’s broader focus extends beyond XERF.

The Makati clinic is positioned around Advanced Aesthetics & Skin Longevity, with treatment planning focused on four areas: Firm, Regenerate, Refine, and Maintain.

Firm centers on advanced skin tightening and structural maintenance. Regenerate focuses on skin quality and regenerative aesthetics. Refine covers subtle facial enhancement, while Maintain supports ongoing skin care within a longer-term aesthetic strategy.

This approach is intended for treatment-aware clients who want to maintain and refine their appearance without losing the features that make them recognizable.

Rather than framing aging as something that needs to be aggressively corrected, MUP focuses on helping clients make informed decisions about how they care for their skin and appearance over time.

The philosophy is summarized by MUP’s guiding statement:

Preserve what matters. Refine what serves you.

About Mold Urban Premier

MOLD Urban Premier (MUP) is an advanced aesthetics and skin longevity clinic in Makati and the newest branch of MOLD Manila. MUP combines carefully selected aesthetic technologies with individualized treatment planning focused on skin tightening, collagen support, skin quality, regenerative aesthetics, facial refinement, and long-term maintenance.
