Designer Nguyen Minh Tuan told Tuoi Tre Online that his collection "Threads of Enchantment" was inspired by the Silk Road – the legendary route of China.

Conquering the Chinese fashion market.

The enchanting collection comprises 30 evening gown designs, predominantly in shades of yellow. This is also one of the colors favored by Chinese designers: pastel yellow, gold, and red.

In terms of materials, he uses taffeta, glitter, sheer mesh, and sparkling mesh combined with 3D shaping, pleating, and draping techniques.

Nguyen Minh Tuan continues to showcase his strengths in beadwork, embellishment, and rhinestone application. This is precisely what sets him apart and makes his designs popular among many international beauty queens and runners-up participating in competitions.

The highlight of these designs is the 3D stitching and raised seams, showcasing soft curves and creating a unique, unconventional look for the collection.

Miss Le Hoang Phuong took on the role of closing the show with a striking yellow design, the highlight being the train of the dress, which was made up of dozens of pieces of fabric.

“This design took a considerable amount of time and effort from our team. The striking 3D connecting train weighs about 25kg. We chose Le Hoang Phuong to be the vedette because she possesses a sharp gaze and captivating aura that creates a unique impression on the catwalk,” shared Nguyen Minh Tuan.

Another Vietnamese beauty queen, Bella Vu, performed at the International Fashion Festival . She wore a white evening gown with a 3D design on the shoulders, showcasing a nationalistic spirit.

Bringing Vietnamese fashion to the international stage.

The international fashion festival in China featured nearly 10 designers showcasing their new collections. Nguyen Minh Tuan was the only international designer, and also the first Vietnamese designer to present at this fashion festival.

Nguyen Minh Tuan said that participating in the fashion show in China was a stroke of luck and an opportunity for him to promote Vietnamese fashion in the potentially huge market of over a billion people. "I always cherish the opportunity to showcase new collections on international fashion runways," Nguyen Minh Tuan confided.

Previously, many Vietnamese designers have conquered the Chinese fashion market and achieved success, such as designers Pham Dang Anh Thu, Tra Linh, Viet Linh, etc.

Designer Nguyen Minh Tuan is also known as the designer of beauty queens. This is because international beauty queens often order evening gowns from him for competitions. For example, in 2023, 13 international beauty queens ordered gowns from him for the Miss Grand International competition. By 2024, that number had risen to 20.

In 2024 alone, more than 40 women wearing Nguyen Minh Tuan's designs won awards at international beauty pageants.

Two representatives from Puerto Rico, wearing dresses designed by Nguyen Minh Tuan, were crowned Miss Global 2023 (January 18, 2024) and Miss Intercontinental 2024 (December 6, 2024).

Among these beauty queens and runners-up, many returned to commission Nguyen Minh Tuan to design dresses for the final walk or other important events.
