Champa Kingdom established in 192 AD. In this nation, Sanskrit was spoken. Champa culture has been influenced by India. The people workshipped various religions: Champa religion, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam. After a lot of wars, the last dynasty was been weakened and they lost their independence in1832. Champa was been merged together with Đại Việt (in the North ) into Vietnam now. The great art work in Champa's Fine Arts are ancient brick towers and sculptures at Champa's relics. After severy weather conditions and many wars, these art work are deteriorating. There are many Champa relic areas ( about 50 areas ). As in 1999, Mỹ Sơn has been recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site. At its 23rd meeting, UNESCO accorded Mỹ Sơn this recognition pursuant to its criterion C (II), as an example of evolution and change in culture, and pursuant to its criterion C (III), as evidence of an Asian civilization which is now extinct. We take care of ancient artistic heritage, research to find out the essence to learn and contribute to the development of art in present and in the future. Archaeologists have been researching and preserving historic monuments. I, a lecturer, is teaching in Fashion design field, realize that doing research of Champa Fine Arts and applying to modern fashion art is very important . Thenceforward, I would like to create a new suitable fashion for a modern living life This study is the first attempt to create modern fashion collection based on Champa ancient towers and Champa sculptures. The study has primary objectives: Find out a specific decorative style from architectures and sculptures of Champa, design new patterns; making woodblocks; printing patterns on fabrics and creative fashion styles. In former times, people made woodblock by hand; however, in my study, I make woodblocks by laser cut machine. I design a new fashion collection for young people because I hope them can see Champa patterns in modern styles. This study is applied in Fashion design in the context of Vietnamese's design fields and is integrating the fashion trend of the world. So today, my fashion is included traditional and modern on new products. The textile companies in Vietnam need pattern fabrics designs relies on the Champa culture or another culture. It is very important, so, I want to introduce my pattern designs to textile companies for their printing products. I discovered many beautiful patterns from this study. My study should be explored more details and can be implemented with greater scale and linked to another design field: architecture, interior or product design of Vietnam In academic aspects, the study helps me to understand clearly about Champa culture for the purpose of my teaching. This is my way that I have chosen to spread Champa culture to young students, young people. From this point, students will create a lot of traditional products in modern life.
