Piccioni has accepted an invitation from Vietnamese designer Minh Hanh to don ao dai designed by Hanoi-based Chula Design for an ao dai show at the event to promote ties between Vietnam and Italy, she told a news briefing held Tuesday on the Vietnam Fall-Winter Fashion Week, which will take place in the capital from February 25 to 28.
She said she is happy and honored to join the show. Ao dai is one of the most beautiful costumes she has ever worn, she said. She has five ao dai at the moment and the number will rise to six when she wears one more at the coming festival.
This year’s Ao Dai Festival will take place in four days starting from March 1. The event will be attended by 18 designers from Hanoi, Hue and HCMC.
For the coming festival, each designer will choose a type of flower to design their ao dai, designer Minh Hanh was quoted by Voice of Vietnam (VOV) as saying. There will be ao dai for elderly women and men, children and disabled people, she said.
The Ao Dai festival in Hanoi will be followed by a number of activities in HCMC from March 5 to 19.
