NSND Kim Xuân, NSƯT Lê Thiện nhận định — People's Artist Kim Xuan and Meritorious Artist Le Thien

On April 2, HTV broadcast a discussion on "Cultural identity with the Viet Phuc movement" with the authors of "Bach Hoa Bo Hanh". Artists interested in cultural identity have been revived spectacularly through the actions of young people.

Meritorious Artist Le Thien believes that Viet Phuc is not only a fashion trend, it is also a symbol of pride in national cultural identity, bringing new and profound experiences to young people. "Young people have done very well. Since I participated in the movie "Phuong Khau" by director Huynh Anh Tuan, young people have loved Viet Phuc through this movie. From there, spreading love and understanding of Viet Phuc among young people, contributing to restoring cultural identity" - Meritorious Artist Le Thien emphasized.

In fact, in addition to festivals or cultural events, ao dai, ao ba ba, or other traditional costumes are gradually becoming everyday fashion choices, expressing pride in national cultural identity.

One of the main reasons for this revival is the strong development of social networks and the awareness of the beauty and importance of traditional national identity. Young people constantly share pictures and videos of themselves wearing traditional costumes, thereby creating new trends and encouraging everyone to participate.

People's Artist Kim Xuan said: "The nostalgic photo series and funny TikTok clips with traditional costumes have attracted millions of views, making Viet Phuc an indispensable part of the lives of young people in Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City" - People's Artist Kim Xuan emphasized.

Many young people today have begun to incorporate Vietnamese traditional costumes into their daily lives, making them an indispensable part of their wardrobes. Coffee shops, virtual living spaces, or meetings with friends have all become the perfect setting to wear traditional costumes.

Dan Quynh, a student in Ho Chi Minh City, shared: "I feel very proud when wearing ao dai or ao ba ba. It is not only beautiful but also has deep cultural value. I often wear it when meeting friends or going for a walk on the weekend."

Along with Quynh, many other young people also find joy and creativity in combining traditional costumes with modern items, creating a unique style. In addition to wearing traditional costumes, many young people also participate in cultural promotion activities, such as organizing art performances and workshops on the value of traditional costumes.

These events not only attract the participation of young people but also receive the attention of many older people who have been attached to traditional costumes in the past.

Fashion brands are not out of this game. Many young designers have started to create new, modern Vietnamese costumes while still maintaining traditional features, making the products more attractive to young people. Current Vietnamese costumes collections are not only diverse in style but also rich in color and material, helping wearers easily choose according to personal preferences.

The Viet dress movement also creates a space for connecting generations. Workshops, classes on sewing Viet dress, or cultural exchange events not only help young people understand more about the origin of national culture. In addition, in the film industry, there have been many successful films using traditional costumes such as: Phuong Khau, The Last Wife, Billionaire Kiss, The Bride of the Rich, etc.

Or most recently, the Concert program "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" caused a big stir when it set a Guinness world record for "Event with the largest number of participants wearing traditional Vietnamese costumes" with 5,000 spectators wearing Vietnamese ao dai, ao tu than, costumes of Vietnamese ethnic groups,...

Through this trend, it is also a way for each young person to express their love for their homeland, country and pride in the cultural heritage of the nation. This movement is increasingly spreading, affirming the position of traditional costumes in the hearts of today's youth.
