Returning to Hmong Nouveau Fashion Show & Concert 2022 is the multi-talented, Brandon Yang, from Fresno California.
Brandon Yang started designing back in the fall of 2011 from Youtube videos. Fashion design has always been a passion of his, but Fresno did not offer any programs in design. With determination, he taught himself how to sew and took 2 days to learn patternmaking.
