The flavor of old Hanoi Tet in the collection 'Spring 2025'

In recent years, people have shown their love for classic designs. Capturing this trend, designer Dang Phuong Minh launched the Spring 2025 collection of ao dai and dresses with designs and patterns imbued with the Tet spirit of old Hanoi .

Ao dai is always one of the priority choices of women during Tet holidays.

According to designer Dang Phuong Minh, these ideas also come from her memories of Tet when she was young. She shared: "At that time, my whole family lived in an old French villa on Nguyen Du Street. Near Tet, the backyard of the villa was always bustling with laughter, washing dong leaves, and cleaning green beans to prepare for wrapping Chung cakes. My best memory of Tet is the late afternoon of the 30th of Tet, wearing beautiful clothes and walking around Thien Quang Lake, immersing myself in the misty spring air of Hanoi, walking while watching the warm lights from my house and hearing the cheerful laughter. I also cannot forget a Hanoi on the morning of the 1st, the old streets with very narrow sidewalks, full of firecrackers after New Year's Eve. Heartbreakingly beautiful in the brilliance, because spring is coming, which means spring is passing, the Tet days are beautiful but also very short".

The comfort factor is what Dang Phuong Minh focuses on in this collection.

In her designs, Dang Phuong Minh uses traditional embroidery techniques such as glitter embroidery, embossed flower veins... to create sharp patterns on puff-sleeve dresses or elegant ao dai designs.

Traditional embroidery techniques are incorporated into the collection by the designer.

In addition, the owner of the collection also pays close attention to the materials of each outfit. The highlight is the combination of two materials: velvet and brocade, both luxurious and brilliant. In addition, she also hopes that when wearing these outfits, the wearer must feel comfortable and flexible to take care of the house.

"The traditional beauty of Hanoi women is to prepare Tet dishes by themselves, keeping the spirit of warm reunion with relatives. In modern times, I think if we know how to balance appropriately, take advantage of modern conveniences intelligently, we women can completely "be traditional in a modern way", both maintaining a warm and joyful family in a traditional Tet atmosphere of the nation, and at the same time reducing fatigue for ourselves and our family members. After all, Tet is supposed to be fun," she shared.
