Who am I?
My name is Kim Berhanu and I am the Founder x Creative Director of the slow fashion brand Dynasty the Label.
In 2017, I left Australia to live in Vietnam and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Hurling myself out of my comfort zone has resulted in unprecedented personal growth and fulfillment: I’ve become fluent in Vietnamese, travelled all around Asia to India, Malaysia, Thailand and of course up and down and around Vietnam.
This channel was born out of my desire to share how amazing life can be a thousand miles away from home.
