Designer Minh Hanh, founderof the VFW, said it’s time to honour traditional fabric.
“Designers and models havebrought Vietnamese fashion to the world, but we don’t have the complete gloryif we keep using materials imported from foreign countries,” Hanh said. “I havean ambition to introduce to the world market a design that is made in Vietnamfrom A to Z.”
The fashion week will introduce the latest spring and summer collections of 19Vietnamese, Spanish and Italian designers during three “Ready To Wear” nightsand one “Haute Couture” night. The designs showcase creativity as well aswearability.
The natural materials theyuse are not only a symbol of national pride, but also both practical anddesirable, Hanh said.
“Natural materials such astussore and silk are ‘crowned’ because of their high adaptability andenvironmental friendliness,” she said. “With the aim of developing the naturalmaterial and expanding the textile weaving villages, designers have beenexploring and coordinating with artisans and producers to create naturalmaterials, which are suitable to the requirements of the fashion market.”
The first ‘Ready to wear’show will introduce the collections of designer Tea Gelashvili from Italy and domesticdesigners, including Ngoc Han, Phuong Thanh, Duy Nguyen and Hung Viet.
