Vietnamese Ambassador to Italy Nguyen Hoang Long has said he hopes the European country will aid Vietnam by training its workforce in the fashion industry in order to improve the quality of its textile and garment exports.
He voiced his expectation at a working session between Vietnamese fashion designers and Stepano Dominella, President of Italian fashion house Gattinoni, in Rome on February 24.
The diplomat cited the fact that Vietnam is a major textile and apparel exporting country, yet the creativity in its products is still low.
Therefore, to enhance exchanges of information and experience, the Vietnamese Embassy and domestic designers have organised fashion shows in some Italian cities and meetings between the two countries’ designers.
Dominella said although Italy is renowned for its fashion industry, its young designers are willing to learn fromVietnam’s experience, particularly in making handicrafts, adding that much potential remains for both countries to collaborate in this sphere.
He expressed his hope that the Italian industry and Gattinoni in particular will gain a foothold in new markets in Asia, including Vietnam, and in return Vietnamese fashion will win Italian consumers’ interest.
He also affirmed Gattinoni’s support for young Vietnamese designers.
At the session, both sides agreed to work with the Association of Textile, Garments and Fashion of Rome to hold a Vietnamese fashion show in the Italian capital in September and another for Roman fashion in Vietnam in December.-VNA
