The Vietnam - Japan Autumn Colors event took place on the afternoon of October 12 at the Vietnam Women's Museum, a meaningful activity to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam - Japan diplomatic relations (1973-2023); 93 years of the establishment of the Vietnam Women's Union (1930-2023) and Vietnamese Women's Day October 20; 24 years since Hanoi was honored by UNESCO as a City for Peace (1999-2023).
The event "Vietnam - Japan Autumn Colors" honors the charming and colorful beauty of traditional Vietnamese ao dai and Japanese kimono through fashion shows performed by professional models.
The Vietnamese brocade collection by designer Lan Vy includes 10 designs on brocade and silk, with delicate artistic patterns drawn by the talented hands of the artist.
The designs are inspired by traditional Vietnamese culture, sacred mythical creatures such as dragons, geese, phoenixes, and dragons, and the image of bronze drums from the golden age of Vietnam. In addition, the idea of the lotus flower, the national flower of Vietnam, is also delicately exploited by designer Nguyen Lan Vy on each ao dai.
The Four Seasons of Japan collection by Kimono expert Junko Sophia Kakizaki includes 10 kimonos that are works of art reflecting the natural beauty and characteristic colors of the Land of the Rising Sun.
The collection showcases the unique traditional Japanese hand-dyeing and embroidery techniques, passed down through generations, with water wave motifs, cranes and the beauty of seasonal flowers such as chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms (sakura)...
At the event, expert Junko Sophia Kakizaki introduced to visitors a family heirloom kimono, a gift for her coming-of-age ceremony at 20 that her grandmother and mother passed down to her. For Japanese women, this is an extremely important milestone in life, and the kimono is believed to be more beautiful after passing through at least three generations.
As for designer Lan Vy, who was born and raised in the ancient capital of Hue, she founded and produced “Ao Dai Show” – an art and cultural promotion program that is loved by many domestic and international audiences.
On this occasion, expert Junko Sophia Kakizaki presented the Vietnamese Women's Museum with a kimono of high cultural and artistic value, created, passed down and preserved in her family for many years.
Within the framework of the event, guests also learned about kimono, experienced wearing Yukata, immersed in the beautiful autumn colors of Vietnam - Japan and captured many memorable moments in the colorful check-in space.
