The Vietnamese Ao Dai brand in the UK, Love Collection, introduced the Vietnamese Tet collection on the occasion of the brand's 5th anniversary. This was also a particularly impressive show when the organizer of the House of iKons program celebrated its 10th anniversary and gathered famous designers from the US, Italy, Thailand, the Philippines... with an exhibition area displaying high-end fashion products and traditional cultures of the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.
14-year-old designer Anna Hoang and the team of the Ao Dai brand Love Collection have brought a collection of 26 designs for adults and children with the main yellow tone and outstanding colors that the designer wants to convey the message of prosperity and luck.
Along with that are familiar motifs of the Vietnamese Lunar New Year such as Chung cake, Tet cake, apricot blossom, peach blossom, kumquat tree, the golden dragon symbol of the year of the Dragon... and especially surprising the audience when recreating the custom of giving lucky red envelopes right on stage.
The collection is presented by international models and Vietnamese children born and raised in the UK.
After viewing the collection of Vietnamese Tet Ao Dai and visiting the Vietnamese Tet miniature landscape area, many British audiences were very interested. They researched and asked for information to travel to Vietnam in the near future.
