According to Thao, she spent many years studying the beauty of traditional costumes and experimented with patterns in each work.
The collection is expected to lead the audience on a journey through time and space. It incorporates brocade patterns from the 16th to the 19th century and features the use of natural materials such as lotus yarn, silk and linen.
She said that through the event, she hopes more Vietnamese and foreigners will use “Made in Vietnam” fashion products.
