The soft, traditional yet symbolically rich \u00e1o d\u00e0i designs skillfully recreated a not-so-distant past&#8217;s pristine, peaceful beauty.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:481\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99944\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"924\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-2.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-2-150x199.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-2-300x398.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:381\">Opening the show, a model appeared in a silver-toned \u00e1o d\u00e0i made of premium silk, creating movements like flowing water, with soft, flowing sleeves resembling the hometown river embracing childhood shores. On the fabric, traditional Vietnamese calligraphy displayed the folk verses: &#8220;Loving Father journeys upstream and down, Mother toils carrying burdens to nurture her children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:381\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99945\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"450\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-3.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-3-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-3-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:532\">Following the first design were \u00e1o d\u00e0i adorned with verses and messages deeply imbued with love for the homeland. The words inscribed on each \u00e1o d\u00e0i seemed to touch the heart, evoking images of hardworking, industrious fathers and mothers, silent figures carrying the weight of love, day by day building a childhood for their children. The designs specifically for children, presented by young models with pieces bearing the sacred words &#8220;Father&#8221; and &#8220;Mother,&#8221; were also a noteworthy highlight of Tommy T\u01b0\u1eddng L\u00ea&#8217;s latest collection.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:532\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99946\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"456\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-4.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-4-150x98.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-4-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:600\">Besides the messages of gratitude and tribute to parents, the words &#8220;Qu\u00ea h\u01b0\u01a1ng&#8221; (Homeland) appeared throughout the collection like a red thread connecting each design&#8217;s emotions, images, and spirit. Sometimes embroidered on the flowing panels of the \u00e1o d\u00e0i in soft strokes like flowing water, appearing faintly in the layers of silk fluttering in the light, or on parasols, &#8220;Qu\u00ea h\u01b0\u01a1ng&#8221; was present as an unfading realm of memory. It is not only the place where we were born but also the root in our hearts, a place to return to, whether through a physical journey or nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:600\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99947\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"1047\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-10.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-10-150x226.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-10-300x451.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:376\">Without noisy pronouncements or ostentatious displays, each design in the collection was a low, gentle, yet haunting melody. Designer Tommy T\u01b0\u1eddng L\u00ea did not tell stories with words; he let the materials speak. Silk flowed like water, long sleeves draped like the winding rivers of the homeland. Each step of the model was a beat of reminiscence, each stitch a slice of memory.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:376\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99948\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"423\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-11.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-11-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-11-300x182.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:404\">Beyond the visual aspect, the catwalk music was also carefully selected, featuring gentle and familiar, poignant melodies: &#8220;Homeland, if no one remembers, one cannot grow to be a person.&#8221; And that is also the most subtle message that Heritage of Origins \u2013 Old Homeland wishes to convey: Fashion may change with trends, but the origin, the place that nurtures the soul and character, is eternally constant.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:404\">More photo:<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:404\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99949\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"1043\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-12.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-12-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-12-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99951\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"972\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-17.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-17-150x209.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-17-300x419.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99952\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-19.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-19-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-19-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99953\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"467\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-22.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-22-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tommy-le-22-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:404\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo: James Giovanni<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair &amp; Makeup: Travis Vu, Huong Vu, Phi Ngoc Nguy\u1ec5n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00c1o d\u00e0i: Tommy Le<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewelry: Yen Jeweler<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Production: Ao Dai Festival 2025<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amidst a world of fashion overflowing with visual splendor, some moments touch the deepest chords of the soul.
