Ao dai revisited for Hue Festival
The ao dai has become symbolic of the country and this year the annual Hue Festival will put it front stage to show off the Vietnamese ideals of grace.
This year, the theme of the festival will be reinterpretation of the ao dai in the styles of countries around the world. Roughly 100 famous models will participate on April 14 and 17, including Miss Vietnam 2010 Ngoc Han. The hope is to feature the ao dai, not only as a symbol for the nation, but also versatile enough to shine on the world stage.
Some of ao dai samples to be shown:
Designer Thuong Huyen brings a Japanese flavour to the ao dai
Designer Ngoc Han integrates South Korean aesthetics
Ao dai with Indian influences by designer Quang Nhat
Cambodian style gown by designer Minh Hanh
Designer Ngoc Thanh's creation with French characteristics
Designer Quang Huy created one with Russia in mind
