New Year's greetings from London by Love Collection Team
Born and raised in England in a Vietnamese family, young designer Anna Hoang shared that through her Ao Dai collection, she wants to convey her love for her Vietnamese roots and England, her second homeland. At the same time, she wants to promote Vietnamese culture to the world.
Vietnamese ao dai fashion brand Love Collection was founded by close friends Anna Hoang and Emily Nguyen in 2019 to honor Vietnamese culture through traditional costumes of Vietnamese women.
With the name Love Collection, the young designer wishes to spread and inspire love globally. The Vietnamese girl hopes that in the future she will continue to introduce Ao Dai in particular and Vietnamese culture in general at cultural events and programs not only in the UK, Vietnam but also other countries in Europe and America.
The young designer said it was wonderful to see all the models wearing Ao Dai to share Vietnamese and British culture with everyone on the catwalk. "Vietnam is a beautiful country and we need to share that with the world."
