Joint Vietnam-RoK fashion show in Hanoi
(VOV) - The Republic of Korean embassy hosted a fashion show in Hanoi on September 8 featuring Hanbok and Ao Dai - the traditional Korean and Vietnamese dresses.
The event was part of activities to welcome the current State-level visit to Vietnam by RoK President Park Geun-hye.
Vietnamese and Korean models strutted their stuff on the catwalk, wearing 34 Ao Dai samples by two Vietnamese designers Si Hoang and Lan Huong, and 34 Hanbok samples by 17 Korean designers.
Si Hoang’s “Dynasty” collection expresses the solemn and splendour beauty of the former royal costumes through motifs of phoenix and sun. Meanwhile, Lan Huong’s works demonstrate the classical beauty of the long Vietnamese dress.
Hanbok collections are quite diverse, ranging from simple samples in everyday life to formal samples in great events. They also include Hanbok for teenage girls, married women, ordinary people and royal families.
RoK President Park attended the event.
