“It’s estimated that more than 200 booths featuring beauty and fashion products will be set up attracting about 20,000 visitors,” he said.

With the theme “Inspiration of fashion and beauty of the times”, the festival will be the biggest event in the country featuring beauty and fashion products and designers.

This is the first time costumes used in hầu đồng (trance ritual of Mother Goddesses worship) and royal costumes of the Nguyễn Dynasty to will be modelled.
