 An ao dai collection by designer Lan Huong at the “Lotus and Kieu Cultural Space” exhibition. |
The “Lotus and Kieu Cultural Space” exhibition also presents ao dai (traditional long dress) collections deeply inspired by the lotus. Designer Lan Huong introduced her collection titled “Hanoi lotus hues”:
“My designs tell the story of Kieu from Nguyen Du’s epic. They portray her youthful beauty in full bloom, her soul drifting among lotus blossoms. With her lute, Kieu plays melodies that celebrate life and the beauty of love beneath the moonlight.”
The space also showcases a portrait of Nguyen Du crafted from dried lotus leaves and handcrafted items inspired by the lotus motif. The exhibition runs until Sunday.
