To prepare for the collection to be presented at a prestigious program like “The Origin of Convergence of Essence”, designer Do Trinh Hoai Nam has devoted all his heart to completing the concept of a special art Ao Dai collection called “The Essence of Convergence”. It is known that the idea of ​​this collection was inspired by the traditional culture and contemporary art of Vietnam combined with the masterpieces of world-famous painters. All of these create 30 Ao Dai designs with three impressive styles, each style carrying its own inspiring story.

Accordingly, part 1 with designs depicting lotus, dragon, phoenix, with meticulous manual attachment techniques, strongly represents national identity and the quintessence of Vietnamese folk culture.

Next are 10 Ao Dai works that embody creativity, blending tradition and contemporary art through the image of the phoenix, recreated with sophisticated lines and unconventional colors, bringing modern, trendy beauty to Vietnamese women.

The final 10 designs are inspired by the immortal works of art by famous painters, as a bridge of culture and diplomacy, expressing international exchange and friendship through art and fashion. Each Ao Dai design is a limited edition hand-painted work, using sophisticated traditional embroidery techniques on Vietnamese SVF silk, creating unique artistic value and class.
