The characteristics of Champa art are creatively and subtly brought into fashion by Le Thanh Hoa through details of patterns, soft and symmetrical lines.

In particular, the images of the Garuda bird, lotus petals, and elephants are all exploited by the designer, demonstrating the connection between Champa cultural values and contemporary fashion trends.

These details carry profound artistic messages about the beliefs and philosophy of life of the Cham people.

"Through the Golden Heritage collection, I hope to contribute to preserving, promoting and bringing these cultural heritage values closer to the public, especially the young generation" - designer Le Thanh Hoa emphasized.
