The event celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam-UK diplomatic relations and promoted cultural and artistic exchanges between the two countries.
The Prosperous Planet collection by designer-artist Lan Huong includes 40 Vietnamese ao dai models with hand-embroidered motifs to honor Vietnamese cultural values.
Each hand-embroidered ao dai is a work of art depicting the cultural and spiritual life of Vietnamese people through images of ancient village gates, Dong Ho and Hang Trong folk paintings, and typical flowers of Hanoi’s four seasons.
