Entitled ‘Ao Dai Viet Nam – Net Dep Truong Ton’(Vietnamese Ao Dai – The Everlasting Beauty), the week-long event displays 'Ao dai' collections of 2 famous Vietnamese designers, Adrian Anh Tuan and Thuy Nguyen.

Using silk, satin, chiffon and brocade, each ‘Ao dai’ creation in the collection ‘Secret Garden’ of the HCM City-based designer Tuan has been compared by the designer to ‘a splendid spring garden’.

“Each of my ‘Ao dai’ presents not only the femininity of mature women, but also their charm and elegance,” said the designer and founder of the fashion brand Valenciani.

Designer Thuy Nguyen, who designed all ‘Ao dai’ creations in the recent movie ‘Co Ba Sai Gon’ – a movie honouring the timeless beauty of ‘Ao dai’, introduced her collection ‘My Viet Nam’.

The founder of the fashion brand Thuy Design House was inspired by the famous landscapes and traditional cultural values of the country’s three regions, with each of her dresses depicting the beauty of nature or festivities.

Aiming to introduce to international guests a special feature of Vietnamese culture, the event will end with an ‘Ao dai’ fashion show on February 28 at the Indochina-styled La Maison 1888 Restaurant.

The 6-star InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula, which hosted the 2017 APEC Summit, is the only resort in the world to win the award for “The World’s Most Luxurious Resort” of the World Travel Awards for 4 consecutive years.
