VIETNAM FASHION WEEK FALL WINTER 2016

It is difficult to begin describing the hundreds of sensations that occur while watching the catwalks of the Vietnam Fashion Week 2016 (Fall/Winter edition).

It is clear that Fall and Winter at this latitude is simply the appointing of a time on the calendar to describe a part of the year, but Vietnamese fashion designers are becoming more international in order to be considered a full milestone in the landscape of the international fashion world.

They never betrayed their footprints: colors, elegance, raffinate images and never superficial tempers remain the materials and shape of the new collections.

The Vietnamese fashion image is one of the strongest fashion identities in the world and sometimes, when the young designers that have studied abroad are too contaminated by international trends, it seems a little disillusioned.

Vietnamese designers are great when they respect their DNA. They don’t miss anything and they put inside their art something exotic that makes them different from all the other designers of the world.

Everything is quickly growing: the collections of the most successful designers are increasing their value and from time to time, they incorporate more innovative elements, remaining elegant and raffinate.

The work of the following four designers was amazing to witness at the four day fashion event.

NGUYEN CONG TRI

"Nguyen Cong Tri is considered to be one of the leading fashion designers in Vietnam. Additionly, his name has great influence on the success of many famous entertainers, such as Ho Ngoc Ha, Thu Minh, and Duong Truong Thien Ly".

THUY NGUYEN

"Thuy Nguyen, known for her Thuy Design House brand, was born and grew up in Hanoi. She is a painter and a fashion designer. Her designs focus on the ready-to-wear, feminist, and elegant. Traditional details and materials such as silk and velvet are used mainly in her designs.
