The event will also showcase collections by young designer Phan Dang Hoang, who recently left an impression at Milan Fashion Week with a collection inspired by Vietnamese craft villages.
“Returning to Hanoi this season, we continue to convey the message of ‘Shaping The Future,’ with the hope of spreading the spirit of sustainable fashion, fostering collective thinking, and seeking novel solutions to change the world every day. This is not just a trend but the future of Vietnamese fashion,” said Trang Le.
Consequently, the event will feature designs paying homage to natural and eco-friendly materials.
Moreover, the organizers aim to celebrate modern and youthful colors. This year’s collections are expected to infuse an eco-friendly spirit into the hearts of fashion enthusiasts, thanks to the ingenuity of designers and renowned domestic and international fashion houses.
