The collection makes use of both Vietnamese and Thai silk as the key material, whilst also featuring traditional patterns such as lilies, roses, and chrysanthemums.

The designs clearly show the culture exchange between the two neighbouring countries, and at the same time send a message about people’s responsibility towards environmental protection, Huy said.

The event saw Thuy Tien, Miss Grand International 2021, take on the role as vedette.

The other celebrities invited to model Huy’s collection include Fom Natrawee Chiarasathid, Miss Earth Water Thailand 2022, Bao Ngoc, Miss Intercontinental 2022, and Ha Kieu Anh, Miss Vietnam 1992. 

The International Thai Silk Fashion Week jointly organised by the Association of Thai Silk Promotion and the Association of Thai Culture and Promotion is running from December 6 to 11. It has brought together leading designers from 60 countries and territories worldwide, with around 10,000 visitors expected to attend the event.

Designer Ngo Nhat Huy has over 20 years of experience working in the fashion industry. His designs have been worn by many celebrities such as Victoria Radochinskay, Mrs World 2009, Mutya Johanna Datul, Miss Supranational 2013, Sireethorn Leigharamwat, Miss International 2019, and Karolina Bielawska, Miss World 2021.
