The contest is for young fashion designers, and university and college students specializing in fashion design.
The contest is hoped to inspire designers and students to create nice Ao dai designs and patterns with modernity, creativity, and personality while keeping the traditional and typical cultural values of Vietnam. This will contribute to honoring and popularizing the Ao dai to more international friends all over the world.
Entries are advised to send to the city’s Youth Cultural House.
As envisaged, from April 4 to 12, the organizing panel will select the best designs whose authors will later create the Ao dai by themselves for prizes.
