Director Hoang Nhat Nam shared: “I want to create a stage that is not only beautiful but also tells stories. Each Ao Dai that appears is not simply a fashion design, but a piece of history and culture. I want viewers to feel the serenity and national pride when enjoying these collections.”
Although he has worked on many cultural and artistic programs, general director Hoang Nhat Nam feels pressured in this role. “My team and I have put a lot of effort into coming up with ideas for this year’s program, hoping to bring a grand, emotional festival season that will leave a deep impression on the public,” he said.
With the theme Vietnamese Ao Dai - Rising Vietnam , the general director wants to see this as a bridge, bringing the country's culture to the international level, affirming the role in preserving and promoting traditional values. The Ao Dai exhibition space will take place from March 1 to 9 in key areas such as Nguyen Hue walking street, Lam Son park, and the metro station of Ho Chi Minh City Theater.
