Hanoians will witness the beauty of French fashion when four Parisian brands present their creations in the capital on Nov. 3 night.
As a cultural exchange between the Ile-de-France region and Hanoi , the fashion show will allow Hanoians a glimpse of this integral part of French culture and provide the French designers a view into Vietnamese fashion.
The French brands set to introduce their creations are Ambrym, Christophe Josse, Dormeuil, and the children's label, Charabia.
"I have a special interest in ethnic handmade fabric so I have visited some traditional villages in the North to learn about the materials that can be used for my artistic limited edition creations," said 25-year-old designer Gabrielle Gerard from Ambrym.
Five Vietnamese designers, Kelly Bui, Do Manh Cuong, Hoang Hai, Le Ha and Sy Hoang, will join the French designers to showcase their latest collections.
Veteran designer Sy Hoang will present his ao dai (Vietnamese traditional robe) collections. He will show his collections for both women and children, who he says are the "generation preserving our traditions."
Environmentally friendly materials are the highlight of Kelly Bui's collection, while crystal, feather and lace adorn Hoang Hai's stunning gowns. Young designer Do Manh Cuong will present his feminine and sophisticated creations. And finally, Le Ha will showcase her designs emphasising the activeness of modern women.
There will also be a performance combining contemporary dance and shadow puppetry during the fashion show.
The event, directed by French choreographer Fanny de Chaille and musical director Christophe Chassol, will start at 6pm at the Hanoi Opera House./.
