“Ao dai” collection to open 2018 Paris Fashion Week
PANO – An “Ao dai” (Vietnamese traditional long tunic) of designer Do Trinh Hoai Nam will open the Paris Fashion Week-Haute Couture 2018 on January 23.
The collection, called “Women in Love,’’ includes 30 "ao dai" in silk and satin made in France and Italy. The designs use patterns from Gothic stained glass in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

The designer shared that he came up with the idea for “Women in Love” three years ago, and the collection has now come to fruition. Each design of the collection was worked on by hundreds of people and took at least six months to finish.
The criteria for Paris Fashion Week is that all products must cost more than USD 10,000, each design must take over 300 working hours to complete, and all designs must be made with luxury materials from Italy and France.
After the show, Nam will introduce his collection in several universities in France.
In September 2017, Nam attended the 26th New York Fashion Week-Haute Couture. His collection, Sen Vang (Golden Lotus), also opened the event.
