Designers Vu Ngoc Tu and Dinh Truong Tung also contributed Tet ao dai designs for men. These designs are from the "Love Song" collection, which was recently showcased in Hong Kong.
The ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) features New Year-themed motifs, most notably the image of a pair of happy horses.
