HA NOI (VNS)– A fashion show featuring woollen creations by Vietnamese and foreign designers is set to wow audiences in HCM City on October 17.
Winner of the 2013 Project Runway Viet Nam, Hoang Minh Ha, will unveil his retro-inspired collection during the show, to take place at the White Palace Convention Centre.
Made primarily from wool and some other materials, Ha’s designs have been inspired by the romantic trends of the 1970s and 1980s.
The fashion show will also see creations from Belgian designer Christian Wijnants, winner of the recent 2013 International Woolmark Prize.
Editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia and judge, Franca Sozzani, praised Wijnants creations as “flattering, feminine and sexy, a modern interpretation of wool”.
In addition, the show will introduce some of the famous Australian Darnell collection consisting of unique vintages clothes and accessories.
Hailing from Pennsylvania in the US, Doris Darnell pursued her passion for vintage fashion items, accumulated over more than 70 years.
For Darnell, the social history behind the items is as important as the items themselves and preserving them and their stories for future generations became an important part of her passion. – VNS
