The third Vietnam Heritage \u00c1o D\u00e0i Fest, recently held in Ho Chi Minh City, has reaffirmed its status as a premier cultural and fashion event, drawing widespread attention from the public and those deeply committed to the traditional Vietnamese long dress. Marking the 10th anniversary of “The Beauty of Vietnam” project, this year\u2019s festival was a powerful statement on promoting Vietnamese identity and heritage both domestically and globally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The distinguishing feature of the 2025 festival was its ambitious leap beyond a simple fashion runway. Organizers successfully transformed the \u00e1o d\u00e0i<\/i> into a multidimensional heritage space. The dress was utilized as a “silk canvas” upon which a richer story of Vietnamese cultural essence, intricate craftsmanship, and history was woven.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A key highlight was the deliberate integration of Vietnam’s rich tangible and intangible heritage. Collections went beyond traditional silk and brocade, subtly incorporating elements like ceramics and meticulously restored royal regalia such as kim t\u00f2ng<\/i> (gold hairpins) and kim b\u00e0i<\/i> (gold plaques). Long-forgotten craft details, including embroidered voile fans and intricately carved silver torque made by artisans from ancient villages, were revived and presented artistically on stage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Crucially, this event ensured that cultural elements were not static museum pieces. Intangible heritage was seamlessly integrated into the performances. Traditional arts like the Coin-clapper Dance (M\u00faa S\u00eanh Ti\u1ec1n<\/i>), M\u00faa B\u00e0i B\u00f4ng<\/i>, and M\u00faa B\u00f3ng R\u1ed7i<\/i> were set within contemporary choreographies. The air resonated with the classic melodies of Hue Royal Court Music (Nh\u00e3 Nh\u1ea1c Cung \u0110\u00ecnh<\/i>), Southern folk music (\u0110\u1eddn ca t\u00e0i t\u1eed<\/i>), and Quan H\u1ecd<\/i> folk songs, creating a complete cultural and artistic ecosystem. The intent was for attendees to feel they were embarking on a journey back to their cultural roots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Top Vietnamese designers showcased collections infused with deep cultural significance. Designer Tri\u1ec7u Vy\u2019s Tinh hoa \u0111\u1ea5t Vi\u1ec7t<\/i> (Quintessence of Vietnamese Land) collection used velvet, brocade, and silk in warm, muted tones to capture the resilient yet soft spirit of the Vietnamese woman. Meanwhile, Designer Vi\u1ec7t H\u00f9ng collaborated with young talent Ng\u1ecdc Trang on Kho\u1ea3nh kh\u1eafc ch\u00e2u ro<\/i>, emphasizing communal unity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Designer \u0110\u1eb7ng Tr\u1ecdng Minh Ch\u00e2u presented \u201cH\u1eb9n \u01b0\u1edbc\u201d<\/i> (The Promise), a sophisticated wedding \u00e1o d\u00e0i<\/i> collection. Featuring dominant white hues symbolizing purity, the garments included symbolic accents of red for eternal happiness and pastel pink for tranquility. Model Ki\u1ec1u Th\u1ecb Th\u00fay H\u1eb1ng, an event ambassador, frequently served as the vedette, closing shows and lending elegance to the storytelling of these significant collections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The festival was also energized by musical performances. Singer T\u0103ng Ph\u00fac, the \u00c1o D\u00e0i Ambassador of Ho Chi Minh City, delivered a crowd-pleasing performance of ‘M\u00ecnh c\u01b0\u1edbi nhau nha’<\/i> and passionately discussed the importance of preserving the traditional costume. Performers \u0110o\u00e0n Minh T\u00e0i and Qu\u00e1ch Ph\u00fa Th\u00e0nh modernized traditional folk songs, aligning with the organizer\u2019s goal of making cultural values relevant to a modern audience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Director Le Viet, Head of the Organizing Committee, concluded the event by expressing pride in its success, viewing the audience’s strong support as confirmation that the mission to spread love for the traditional dress is deeply resonant. He emphasized that this enthusiasm is the primary motivation for the Vietnam Heritage \u00c1o D\u00e0i Fest to continue its cultural journey in the years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
