Recently, fashion designer Thieu Vy from Nha Trang introduced her collection themed “Huong sen dat Viet” at the White Palace in Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City.
Combining lotus flowers with Vietnamese famous beautiful sites nationwide, including Sword Lake, Ben Thanh Market, Mot Cot (One Pillar) Pagoda, the Pagoda Bridge and Independence Palace, designer Thieu Vy created a collection of charming Ao dai designs. She hoped that her collection would make a contribution to promote the image of Vietnam to the world.
Lotus flowers are familiar to the Vietnamese people and they symbolize the beauty of Vietnamese women. Fashion designers often decorate their designs with this variety of flowers and Thieu Vy is no exception. Each design in her collection looks like a piece of art that shows the combination of images of lotus flowers and moss-covered ancient architectural works and highlights the beauty of the wearers.
