Natural material designs introduced at Spring-Summer Fashion Week 2018
PANO - Nineteen Vietnamese and Italian designers will showcase their latest fashion collections during the four-day "Vietnam Spring-Summer Fashion Week 2018", scheduled to open on September 29 at Film Studio No.14 of the Vietnam Television in Hanoi.
Almost all collections are made from traditional
and natural materials. This is a new and prominent trend in the fashion sector
to help a top notch fashion industry to develop.
Recently, natural materials have been much sought after in
the global consumption trend due to their advantages of high adaptation and
environmental friendliness.
Vietnamese designers have worked closely and tirelessly
with artisans and textile producers to create more natural materials to meet
growing demands of fashion markets and to help expand fabric weaving villages
in the country.
During the week, jointly organized by the Vietnam
Television and Viet Mot Co., Ltd. (Vietmode), Italian designer Tea Gelashvili
will introduce a collection featuring the hidden charm of Italy while
Vietnamese designer Duy Nguyen will bring to audiences his collection of gentle
suits made from tussore, a less processed natural form of silk. Meanwhile,
well-known designer Minh Hanh will present the collection made from traditional
materials such as Nhat Minh silk, Thien An, Quang Ngai and An Phuoc hemp
textiles.
