Vietnamese designer Do Trinh Hoai Nam has introduced his latest Ao Dai collections during a fashion show held at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
The fashion show took place as part of a range of activities held to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Vietnamese Association in France. During the fashion show, the designer displayed two Ao Dai collections. One was titled “12 Flower Seasons” and the other “Dong Ho folk paintings”. As many as 200 guests have been invited to attend the show. All of the designs are worn by foreign models. Nam’s designs heavily feature the use of primary colours. A number of different patterns can be seen printed on the dresses including sunflowers, lotus flowers, mustard flowers, and phoenix flowers. Notable images which feature in the collection include Dong Ho folk paintings such as “the family of the Yin-Yang pigs”, “a hen surrounded by chickens”, and “a boy sitting on a buffalo and playing the flute”. |
