Vietnamese designer Vo Viet Chung said he has been invited by President of Miss World Beauty Vadim Khusainov to serve as a judge at the beauty pageant scheduled to take place in Russia in November.

The well-known Ao Dai (long dress) designer initiated Miss Ocean Vietnam in 2014.

Chung won a UNESCO award for his efforts in restoration and development of the southern Vietnam silk fabric called Lanh My A, and Vietnam traditional culture through Ao Dai in 2007.

He was among top ten world designers at the 7th annual Leonardo Simpson’s 10 Best Dressed Award in 2014.

Last year, he was honoured as the Fashion International Designer of the Year and most Excellent International Designer by the US Fashion Forward.
