HA NOI — Viet Nam Italia Fashion Week, featuring sustainable designs, will take place from March 17-19 in Ha Noi to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relationship between two countries.
The event will present the latest collections of 18 Vietnamese and Italian designers such as Minh Hanh, Phuong Thanh, Nhi Hoang, Ngoc Han, Michele Gaudiomonte and Bianco Levrin.
Han said she will present a collection of 15 designs with black and white as the main colours. The collection follows principles of minimalism. Meanwhile, designer Thanh uses two contrasting colours of red and black in her collections with embroidered patterns.
The fashion show will take place at the Dien Hong Garden (formerly named is Chavassieux Square), Trang Tien Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Ha Noi.
An exhibition featuring the process of making Vietnamese traditional silk started on March 13 and will run until March 19 at the Casa Italia, 18 Le Phung Hieu Street, Ha Noi. Artisans from Van Phuc Village (Ha Noi), Nha Xa Village (the northern province of Ha Nam) and Bao Loc District (the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong) will perform their skills in weaving silk.
“Through the exhibition, we want to promote the traditional trade of Viet Nam and honour the values of the handicraft,” said designer Minh Hanh, a member of the organising board.
“With silk, the designers will present autumn-winter collections. They will share the common inspiration and theme as sustainable fashion. We look toward designs and materials which are friendly to the environment and durable for users.” — VNS
