On the afternoon of June 1, at a regular press conference, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City provided more information about the handling of the organizer of the New Traditional fashion show by designer Tuong Danh.

Record of handling offensive fashion show, revealing almost the entire body in Ho Chi Minh City - 1 — Thu Duc City has drawn up a record of administrative violations, and the Department of Culture and Sports is also in the process of consulting the City People's Committee to issue a decision on penalties according to regulations.

The Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City has coordinated with management agencies to handle the case. Accordingly, Thu Duc City has drawn up a record of administrative violations, and the Department of Culture and Sports is also in the process of consulting the City People's Committee to issue a decision on penalties according to regulations.

Previously, a representative of the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City confirmed to VTC News reporters: The fashion show called New Tradition taking place on May 6, 2023 did not follow the administrative procedures as prescribed at the Department of Culture and Sports.

As VTC News reported earlier, designer Tuong Danh's New Tradition fashion show sparked mixed public opinion with the image of a model wearing a conical hat and a stylized yếm shirt, revealing her back and butt.

Another image that caused outrage was a male model wearing a yellow off-the-shoulder dress with a high neckline. While performing, he also held a golden bell in his hand. Along with that, many other designs inspired by the ao dai and ao yem also had bold cut-out details...

This collection has faced fierce opposition from experts and the public. Most opinions say that the collection brings offensive images, not in line with traditional values: "The designer wants to bring traditional themes into the design but does not care about the values and images of Vietnamese people for generations. The image of traditional Vietnamese women is extremely beautiful and has its own charm. No matter how you want to innovate, you must still preserve the core of tradition."

Other viewers criticized more harshly : "As for the yếm, even though it is underwear, it is still a symbol of women, a symbol of softness, grace and elegance, not ridiculous enough to be paired with thongs and high heels like a stripper."
