Tran Phuong Hoa's Eleven S Couture bridal collection wowed at Vancouver Fashion Week.

Spring/Summer 2025 Vancouver Fashion Week featured an exciting array of designs from international designers, including 32-year-old Vietnamese designer Tran Phuong Hoa.

On October 28, Hoa debuted her latest collection, Radiant Symphony, which consists of 12 designs that combined pearls from the sea of Khanh Hoa, Vietnam, with the maple leaves of Canada.

When designing wedding dresses, Hoa incorporates fashionable fabrics such as chiffon, silk and linen, as well as embroidery techniques, embellishments, 3D shaping and delicate, seductive cutouts. The collection highlights each bride's unique and special appeal.

Inspired by Vietnamese weddings of the 1980s, the Radiant Symphony collection offers a sophisticated palette of whites that symbolize purity and celebration. Crafted from luxurious chiffon and embellished with Swarovski crystals and pearls, the gowns radiate the bride's joyful spirit. Each design is a work of art, complemented by custom vedette details and sweeping long veils that elegantly pay tribute to Canada's iconic maple leaves, adding a unique cultural touch to this radiant celebration of love.

According to Vancouver Fashion Week organizers, invited designers, including Hoa, are those whose work has pushed creative boundaries and captivated audiences. Each collection brought fresh perspectives and offered unique innovations that inspired both the local audience and the global fashion industry, making the event a celebration of creativity and a source of motivation for other designers because of the joy and excitement these creations radiated throughout.

Exquisite evening gowns and wedding dresses are the hallmark of Hoa's Eleven S. Couture brand. Having worked with brides in more than 30 countries, including the US, UK and Australia, Hoa has more than a decade of experience bringing their fantasies to life. Her creations are both original and sophisticated, perfectly blending classic beauty with modern flair.

Each gown reflects Hoa's dedication to highlighting a bride's unique beauty and personal style, and with the support of her professional team, Eleven S. delivers world-class, bespoke creations. Having previously graced the runways of international fashion events such as New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, Eleven S. continues to set trends as a leading force in the global bridal industry.

"When I saw wedding gowns on the covers of international fashion magazines, I longed for Vietnamese wedding fashion to be prominently featured so that everyone could admire the masterpieces created by the innovative ideas and skillful hands of Vietnamese people. Therefore, I used the number 11 in my brand name to symbolize lifelong love, always standing side by side. The letter S represents the wish for Vietnam to become a bright spot on the world fashion map," Tran Phuong Hoa said.
