"WELCOME ON BOARD" - SPRING/SUMMER 2011 is an Activewear Collection aimed at young female teenagers from 13-19 years old in beach cities in Viet Nam that belong to fandom subculture and start skateboarding in their free time, at the beginning level. Inspired by Neytiri - the heroine in James Cameron's "AVATAR" movie (2009), the designs are influenced by tribal patterns and animal motifs printed on the shape of urban activewear. According to research, 85% of skateboard players are male. There has been a growing number of female participants in the past years in this leisure activity. Skateboard parks are developing in the city and are soon to be hot gathering spots for young people at their most active years in their lifetime.
