Seventeen Vietnamese designers presented collections of evening gowns, suits, streetwear, and áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dresses) for adults and children.
The designs are made with high-quality materials, including metallic fabrics, silk, organza, lace, and velvet with hand-embroidered and printed patterns.
Designer Do Long closed the AVIFW 2020 with “The Valley of Goddess” collection inspired by Greek goddesses. It took 120 working days to hand-embroider crystals on his 35 gowns.
Two 'ao dai' designers Minh Chau and Bao Bao brought the collections called “Kim Lang” (Groom) for weddings, and “Minh Tinh” (Superstar) highlighting the beauty of Vietnamese famed actress in the 70s and 80s.
Designers Thao Nguyen and Ivan Tran introduced their new designs for adults and children in both a sweet and strong style.
Thao’s “I’m Happy” collection, a blend of military style with feminism, featured happiness in life, while Ivan’s “Dreaming the Circus” showcased designs in futuristic style.
Designer Hoang Minh Ha presented the “Cham” (Touch) collection with sexy and romantic gowns in vivid colours.
Young designer Ly Giam Tien, winner of the first season of the fashion reality show Project Runway Vietnam, impressed fashion lovers with his spring/summer 2021 collection featuring streetwear, suits, evening gowns, and innovative designs inspired by áo dài.
The 11th season of AVIFW also saw the participation of other famous designers like Le Long Dung, Hoang Quyên, Nguyen Tien Truyen, as well as new graduates Vo Hoang Long of the HCM City University of Architecture and Nguyen Tung Chinh of Hong Bang University, among others.
The catwalk featured winners of Vietnamese beauty pageants, top models, and child models.
