Graduated with a bachelor degree in industrial design, he marked his step into fashion industry with a sequence of recognitions from renowned awards: New Idea of Vietnam Collection Grand Prix 2000; Bay FM Award of Asia Collection in Makuhari, Japan; second runner-up of Asia Fashion Collection in Singapore 2001. Throughout his devoting 10 years in fashion industry, Cong Tri, under his eponymous brands, has incessantly showcased his collections (named No.1 to No.10) in significant fashion events such as Vietnamese International Fashion Week and Tokyo Fashion Week.

As this venture grew, he launched the ready to wear brand Kin by Cong Tri in 2009, and KinConcept, his menswear line, in 2011. Nguyen Cong Tri personally teaches his growing atelier to create his designs from laboriously-sourced fabrics, producing fashion-forward designs that are infused with tradition. His signature aesthetic and keen eye for detail combines progressive and hand-made techniques, resulting in collections which feature laser cutting, interlacing, hand-ironed pleating, knitting and hand painting.

In 2013 he became the first Vietnamese designer to launch a dedicated house of Haute Couture.
