The Graduate Fashion Show and Exhibition 2012 of London College for Fashion Studies – Hanoi took place in Hanoi with the aim of introducing 13 collections of graduates. The show was organized professionally and brought a new trend to Vietnam’s fashion.

The collections originated from the inspiration from Vietnamese cultural heritages, Japanese traditional cultures, feelings of Russia and Buddhism. All were performed harmoniously with a space of sounds and lights, leaving a long-lasting impression on audiences.

The collection entitled “Tinh” (Still) by Vu Tanh Linh initiated from the image of lotus. All the designs were made from different materials like wool, felt, velvet, hemp, leather, silk and brocade that look simple, refined and modern, suitable for women with strong character.
