Hanoians enjoy the best fashion show on Ao Dai Vietnam
Leading designers in Hanoi introduced their latest collections of both traditional and modern ao dai for the new year at a fashion show at 7.30 pm on January 12.
Residents and visitors to Hanoi have been able to admire the latest versions of the Ao Dai, Vietnam’s traditional dress, and try some on from January 12 to 17 at an event organized by A designer Hanoi and the Center for Culture Exchange to welcome Tet, the lunar new year festival, and honor the beauty of the Ao Dai. In addition, a 20 to 50% discount will be offered to all visitors.
Another highlight is “Pose with Tet Ao dai”, where visitors can don an Ao Dai, with advice from professional designers on the dress and the accessories. Those taking part also be made up by make-up experts from Royal Salon and others at the event. Local painters then do a sketch before photos are taken by professional photographers.
The most exciting part of the event is professional models taking to the catwalk, images of which appeared on A designer Hanoi’s Facebook fan page. To take part in “Pose with Tet Ao Dai”, visitors must register on A designer Hanoi’s Facebook fan page before January 14.
The event is being held at the Center for Culture Exchange in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, 50 Dao Duy Tu Street. The traditional dress of women in Vietnam, ao dai are knee-length, have a neckline, and hug the body. It splits at the hip, for a sensuous charm. More than just a traditional dress, it’s an important part of Vietnamese culture.
The Ao Dai is a Vietnamese traditional clothing, now most commonly worn by women but can also be worn by men. In its current form, it is a tight-fitting silk tunic worn over trousers. On Tet, the lunar new year festival and other occasions, Vietnamese men may wear an Ao Gam (brocade robe), a version of the ao dai made of thicker fabric. Unlike many other traditional costumes, the ao dai remains popular and influential in modern-day Vietnamese culture.
