According to the talented young designer Le Minh Phu: "Ao dai, especially the combination of tradition and modernity, is a cultural symbol associated with the image of Vietnamese women. I want to bring a symbol of friendship, the exchange of cultures, through the image of ao dai of Vietnamese women. At the event, participants interacted with leading Indian artists, Avika Gor from the famous Indian TV series Balika Vadhu, legendary actor and filmmaker Anupam Kher, and pop star Alisha Chinoi. The audience also enjoyed traditional Indian performances such as Kuchipudi and Qwali dances.

Designer Le Minh Phu confided: Along with the rapid development of international friends, Vietnam is also gradually moving forward, especially the Ao Dai. When talking about Vietnamese Ao Dai, people often think of something very traditional, very old. But no. Look here, my collections, it is very different, very new, very special, or to put it more deeply, it is very innovative, very modern. It is no longer constrained by three measurements, or a conventional color like before, very stylish.
My fashion meets almost all audiences, no longer the high-necked, closed-off style, but adds more shapes, making the wearer more confident, enhancing the inherent beauty. However, no matter how creatively I break the rules, I still do not forget my roots, the typical images deeply ingrained in the hearts of Vietnamese people, which are the lotus or the phoenix. The images attached to them not only show the nobility, sophistication, and virtue of the symbol but also truly reflect the qualities of the Vietnamese people.
In addition, when it comes to Vietnam, I am always proud of love, and for that reason, I always choose the stylized heart image in my collections. Instead of only those with a slim waist and beautiful figure dare to wear Ao Dai, today, I have created Ao Dai that is easier to wear, even if you are a bit plump, you can still wear it confidently and comfortably. The highlight of this collection is the Ao Dai transformed into the image of a Phoenix, which is the crystallization of the beauty and softness, elegance and grace of different species. The Phoenix is also a symbol of royalty and nobility, and the royal yellow floral motifs bring out the splendid beauty of the Ao Dai.
The image of the phoenix is also delicately designed on the crown, the harmony of North-South culture honors the complete beauty of Vietnamese women, that beauty is successfully expressed through the excellent performance of Hot tiktoker - Runner-up of Vietnam Businesswoman. Lu Ngoc Hien. Le Minh Phu added "The phoenix is a bird with the ability to regenerate, a symbol of eternal beauty. The appearance of the phoenix is a sign of good luck, a time of peace in society, symbolizing peace and friendly cooperation between the two countries of Vietnam and India, which is also the message that designer Le Minh Phu sent to this event.

With that idea, Minh Phu also sends his heartfelt message to international friends, even though we do not have the same skin color, do not have the same language, but let us share the same ideal of peace, security and love because we are living on the same Earth. Thank you to the brand ambassadors, thank you to the beauty queens who have brought the Vietnamese modernized ao dai to a new level. Thank you to international friends who have respected, cherished and worn my ao dai. In order for that beauty not to fade over time, every day I will try to learn more, create more, contribute more, to produce many collections of modern, luxurious and pure ao dai.
