The ELLE Fashion Show 2023, with the theme ‘Interchange of Fashion and Architecture,’ was a grand event held at the Reunification Palace. It showcased one of the largest fashion shows ever, featuring a unique elip-shaped stage that spanned across the main hall of the palace and had a catwalk encircling the water tower.
The runway served as a symbolic bridge, connecting the world of fashion with Vietnam’s rich historic heritage.
The event showcased over 100 breathtaking outfits created by renowned Vietnamese designers Luu Viet Anh, Truong Thanh Hai, Ngo Hoang Kha, and Indonesian designer Peggy Hartanto. Each collection aimed to promote sustainable fashion and inspire a more environmentally conscious approach to the industry.
