Cong Tri’s designs highlighted at Tokyo Fashion Week
VOV.VN - Vietnamese designer Cong Tri showcased his Lanh My A (Vietnamese traditional My A silk) haute couture collection in Tokyo Fashion Week 2016 on March 15.
Lanh My A is a truly unique silk product, made from finest silk threads by weavers in Tan Chau silk village located in southern Vietnam about 300 kilometres from Ho Chi Minh City. |
Tri said he was inspired by images of Vietnamese women in Ao Ba Ba (a typical casual wear of southern women) working in paddy fields. |
"The image of Vietnamese women working hard in paddy fields is always beautiful to me," Tri said. |
All designs in the collection, including trousers and dresses, are inspired by the Ao Ba Ba. |
"I'm Vietnamese. Vietnamese culture is always an endless source of inspiration for my collection," he said. |
Tri is a pioneer who brought international haute couture standards to Vietnamese concepts about made-to-measure fashion. |
