According to Vuong Duy Bien, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, it is the first time a Vietnamese fashion show has been officially introduced at the most professional art performance centre in the US. The event served as a cultural imprint that helped promote the comprehensive partnership between the two countries and the friendship between the two peoples.
Lan Huong’s Ao dai designs.
The collection consisted of designs by renowned designers Minh Hanh, Quang Nhat, Chula and Lan Huong. In his collection, Quang Nhat used a complicated embroidery technique to create interesting images of Vietnamese architectural works on denim, a popular material in the US, making them become more familiar to Americans.
Designer Lan Huong presented her Ao dai designs with printed and embroidered images of the landscape of the US which showed a new perspective of the Vietnamese traditional dress.
On the traditional silk material, Chula showed typical colours and icons of the US, such as the Statue of Liberty, stars and eagles. The harmony of colours and materials gave Chula’s designs a new contemporary breath.
Famous designer Minh Hanh manifested her talent when combining successfully both traditional and modern features through images of lotus flowers and denim. Minh Hanh stated: “Through culture, we want the Americans to see a new country of Vietnam with changes which are reflected through fashion without any words. Furthermore, we want to confirm that there is not any way better than culture to bring people closer”.
