The Beyond Deadlines collection was inspired by designer Le Thanh Hoa's "running deadlines" to complete plans.

The 30 designs in this collection were also completed under these circumstances. Le Thanh Hoa and his colleagues only had two weeks to complete. The whole team accelerated to "run at full speed" to complete the deadline on time.

He said that completing this collection in a short time required the whole team to make efforts, constantly be creative and know how to manage time most effectively.

Le Thanh Hoa continues to promote the strength of manual attachment processing to create blocks and shapes into new materials.

He uses sequins, stones, beads, and feathers. He especially uses old watch faces and belts to create unique designs.

Miss Thanh Thuy opened the collection with a rather impressive design. It was a dress decorated with nearly 300 old used watch faces, which Le Thanh Hoa called "sida" watches.

This design represents the hustle and bustle of time, running continuously without waiting for anyone.

Designer Le Thanh Hoa told Tuoi Tre Online : "The collection was actually completed before the show. Before that, the crew was still sewing and attaching.

Hoa was quite impressed with the design made from old watch faces. These were second-hand watch faces that Hoa and his team found and bought at places that sell second-hand goods.

By using recycled materials in her designs, Hoa hopes to spread the message of sustainable fashion .

Another impressive design in this collection is the one made from dozens of belts.

"Actually, the idea of this design was very coincidental, it was a tight-fitting dress, meaning the deadline was so tight that only the belt was left. Hoa thought this design was cute, friendly, and true to the spirit of the collection" - Le Thanh Hoa added.

Miss Do Thi Ha performed as vedette in a design made of hundreds of fabric pieces stacked on top of each other, creating a 3D effect.
