The fabric used in the designer’s brocade-based apparel collection is hand woven by a group of ethnic minority people ‘H’Mong’ belonging to Ha Giang province and Bac Ha district (Lao Cai province) in Vietnam.

The talented designer’s bright and beautiful apparel line portrays a spectacular blend of regal hues, such as rich green, royal blue, classic black and soothing pastels.

Born in 1961, the Vietnamese fashion designer specialises in hybridising traditional designs with modern clothing and is currently the Director at the Vietnam Fashion Design Institute (FADIN).

At the event, various international designers will showcase their vivid creations, such as scarves made from spider’s threads as well as clothes made with gold strings and bamboo fibres.
